When Gallatin resident Donell “Bubba” Morgan arrived at TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center struggling to breathe, he didn't know he was living with heart failure. Within hours, his condition became critical.
That’s when the power of connected care made a lifesaving difference. ❤️
Donell needed ECMO, an advanced form of life support, but his oxygen level was too low to safely transport him. So, the mobile ECMO team from TriStar Centennial Medical Center came to him, placing Donell on ECMO right at his bedside in the emergency room before safely transferring him for continued care.
Four days later, he was off ECMO. Just eight days after arriving at TriStar Centennial, Donell went home. Today, Donell is continuing his recovery with cardiac rehab.
His story is a testament to the power of connected care and collaborative teams. “I appreciate each and every one of you,” Donell shared. “Everyone was top notch. I’m grateful.”
