Donate blood. Honor courage. Support kids like Kaemey. 🎗️💛

This Childhood Cancer and Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re celebrating brave kids like Kaemey, who is battling leukemia. The 13-year-old has faced many challenges during her treatment journey over the past year, but thanks to her compassionate care team at TriStar Centennial Children's Hospital, she's remained hopeful even during some of her toughest days.

Kaemey recently wrote a letter thanking Morgan, one of our Child Life Specialists, for simply being there.

"I don’t think you realize just how much you mean to me. There’s something about the way you’re there for me—especially during tough moments—that makes everything feel a little more bearable," Kaemey wrote. "You have this incredible calming presence that I’ve come to rely on, especially during procedures or times when I’m anxious. Just knowing you’re there helps me feel grounded and safe. That kind of peace you bring—it’s rare."

We admire Kamey’s courage and remain committed to her care.

Did you know? For some children with leukemia, a blood stem cell transplant is the only potential cure. As part of HCA Healthcare, we’re proud to help meet this critical need through the HCA Healthcare Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Network. This extensive network is among the largest providers of unrelated bone marrow donor transplants in the U.S., caring for tens of thousands of patients each year.

Your blood stem cells could be Kaemey’s or someone else’s best hope for a cure. Learn more and join the National Marrow Donor Program registry at https://bit.ly/4gIDM1w

In our neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), our caregivers support babies born prematurely or with certain medical conditions. This , we're celebrating our tiniest, most resilient patients and the teams who care for them.

NICU nurses at TriStar Centennial Medical Center gathered to read a letter from a patient's family, filled with gratitude and memories from the earliest days of life. Aubree was born at 24 weeks. During her long stay, Aubree's mother also faced the unimaginable — losing her own mother. In the midst of grief and uncertainty, she found comfort and strength in the nurses who stood by her side.

This is a glimpse into the bonds that last long after a hospital stay ends. From soothing cries, to celebrating milestones, TriStar Health's six NICU teams pour compassion and skill into every touch, every feed and every moment of care.

Celebrating NICU Nurses Week

Meet Jennifer “JJ” Jordan, RN, one of our incredible NICU nurses at TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center. For JJ, the most meaningful part of her work is “watching babies grow and get better to go home and watching parents get comfortable with their babies.”

She recalls a powerful moment at a NICU reunion when a young mother hugged her and said, “You saved me. You helped me finish my schooling.” That lasting impact is what makes her role so meaningful.

JJ describes the NICU team as Family: “We work in close quarters and as a team. It truly feels like family.”

💡 Did you know? NICU nurses do much more than care for fragile newborns. They support and educate parents, earning their trust while they face the challenge of leaving their baby in the NICU’s care.

Her advice for NICU parents: “Take care of yourself. The baby won’t remember their time in the NICU, but parents and siblings will. It’s important to care for your own well-being too.”

This NICU Awareness Month, we celebrate JJ and all of our NICU nurses for their compassion, dedication, and advocacy for our tiniest patients and their families.

Celebrating NICU Nurses Week

Meet Ana Trombley, RN, one of our incredible NICU nurses at TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center. Nursing is actually Ana’s second career—after working as a chemist, she realized she longed for more human connection. From the moment she stepped into the NICU during a clinical rotation, she knew she had found her calling.

For Ana, NICU nursing is more than clinical skill: “It’s about advocacy, empathy, presence, and resilience. I am proud of the work I do and grateful for every family that allows me to be part of their journey.”

One of her most meaningful experiences was serving as the primary nurse for a baby with a complex condition who spent months in the NICU. The parents later told her that when she was scheduled, they felt a deep sense of peace knowing their baby was in her care. Today, Ana still receives updates and holiday cards from that family—addressed to “Angel Ana.”

She describes the NICU team at TriStar StoneCrest in one word: Family. “Everyone truly works together, supporting one another with a shared goal: to provide the best possible care for our babies and their families.”

💡 Did you know? NICU nurses manage feeding plans, monitor vital signs, start IVs in veins as small as a strand of hair, and respond to emergencies like apnea—all while offering emotional support and education to families.

This NICU Awareness Month, we celebrate Ana and all of our NICU nurses for their compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment to our tiniest patients.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, and early detection saves lives.

Did you know?
Nearly 1 in 8 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.
Risk increases with age, family history, and race.
1 in 6 African-American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
1 in 5 men with a family history will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Dr. Ryan Jones, Radiation Oncologist at HCA Healthcare Sarah Cannon Cancer Network at TriStar StoneCrest, reminds us:

“PSA screening can help find prostate cancer early, when treatment is most effective. Talk with your healthcare provider about PSA testing and your personal risk. If prostate cancer is found, there are many management options—including active surveillance, surgery, and radiation therapy—so care can be tailored to your needs and preferences.”

Each year, our family of hospitals unite to support the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund — a lifeline for our colleagues facing unexpected hardship. Since its inception in 2005, the Hope Fund has supported more than 50,000 families, distributing over $121 million in assistance, all thanks to the generosity of fellow team members.

This week, we reflect on what caring like family really means through fundraising activities and sharing stories of hope like Yvonne Glass's. A music therapist at TriStar Centennial Medical Center, Yvonne turned to her TriStar family and the Hope Fund for help during two separate occasions: when her daughter was diagnosed with cancer and after a house fire. Watch to learn more about Yvonne’s story and how the Hope Fund made a difference.

Celebrating NICU Nurses Week

Meet Patrice Westbrook, RN, one of our dedicated NICU nurses at TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center. Patrice was inspired by her mother, a pediatric nurse, and her own experience as a big sister to four younger siblings. Her love for babies has guided her throughout her nursing career.

For Patrice, being part of a family’s NICU journey is “a blessing. I love watching babies and families grow together.”

She describes the NICU team in one word: FUN! And her most joyful moments? “When a family holds their baby for the first time or when a baby successfully latches at the breast for the very first time.”

💡 Did you know? A common misconception about the NICU is that nurses just hold babies all day. In reality, NICU care is highly organized and centers around structured care times to ensure each baby’s needs are met safely and effectively.

Patrice also reminds parents: “Patience is key. Your baby will do what they need to do, but it will be on the baby’s timeline.”

This NICU Awareness Month, we celebrate Patrice and all of our NICU nurses for their compassion, expertise, and dedication to families.

At TriStar StoneCrest, we’re growing our Women’s Services team and looking for compassionate nurses who want to make a difference. Whether your passion is Labor & Delivery or the NICU, you’ll find opportunities here to grow your career, expand your skills, and be part of a team that feels like family.
