At TriStar Summit, Hobert Suggs' commitment to serving others is evident every day. As our Director of Security, he works tirelessly to support the safety and well-being of our patients, visitors, and colleagues. But his impact extends far beyond our hospital walls.

Recently, Antioch High School football program recognized Suggs, his father, and his uncle for their dedication to giving back to the community. For the past several years, Hobert and his father have volunteered their time to prepare and cater barbecue meals for student-athletes. The opportunity originally came through Hobert's uncle, a Metro Nashville police officer who is involved in the Nashville Police Activity League as well as a coach for the program.

The service that Hobert and his dad provide is more than just a meal —it's about investing in the next generation and supporting a community that helped shape who he is today.

“Nashville is where I grew up, and it's a community that helped shape who I am," said Hobert. "I've always felt a responsibility to give back and support the people who invested in me. Whether it's mentoring students, supporting local programs, volunteering my time, or helping bring people together through food and fellowship, I believe there are many ways to make a difference. When we all find ways to serve, we strengthen our community and create opportunities for the next generation to succeed."

His dedication to service reflects the values we strive to uphold at TriStar Summit and demonstrates the impact one person can have when they choose to invest in others.

Congratulations to Hobert on this well-deserved recognition and for the positive difference he continues to make in the lives of future generations.

Jim Posey has spent his entire life in motion. As a 26-year Air Force veteran, pushing himself physically has always been part of who he is.

“Jim has always been an extreme sports guy,” joked his wife, Maggie, who also served in the Airforce alongside her husband. “Racquetball, helicopter, skydiving, skiing, you name it.”

But after his seventh back surgery and a then serious fall at home, Jim suddenly found himself facing an uncertain future.

“My doctor told me that I was in a serious position and I might never walk again.” For someone who had spent a lifetime on the move, the news felt like a blow. “I felt like after the fall, my legs were all but gone,” he said.

When his doctor recommended inpatient rehabilitation at TriStar Summit, Jim saw it as an opportunity to fight for the life he wanted to get back to. Even though it meant traveling a little farther from home, he knew he needed to give himself every chance to recover.

It didn't take long for him to realize he was in the right place. From the moment he arrived, he was struck by the way the team worked together. He said they immediately recognized his potential and focused on helping him achieve his goals.

“Every PT and OT that has come in—they work like a NASCAR pit crew,” he shared. “The level of precision is incredible.”
Surrounded by attentive nurses, skilled therapists, and caregivers who truly listened, Jim began making steady progress. Step by step, he started walking again, climbing stairs, and rebuilding the independence he feared he might have lost.

Throughout his stay, Jim repeatedly found himself impressed by the level of care he received, whether the care came in the form of rehab or in the form of an encouraging note.

“The nurses have all been spectacular,” he said. “They know exactly what a patient needs and when they need it. It has really accelerated my recovery. Anybody in the world would be hard-pressed to find a better operation than what you have here.”

Today, as he reflects on everything he has overcome, he does so with a sense of gratitude and perspective. “The accident was a blessing in disguise.”

At TriStar Summit, stories like Jim's are a reflection of what happens when teams are committed to doing what is right for every patient, every time. Here at TriStar Summit, this mentality is what sets our teams apart. It is a privilege to care for remarkable members of our community like Jim and to be part of their recovery journey.

June is , a reminder that not all wounds heal on their own and may need specialized care.

Chronic and nonhealing wounds – those that don’t heal within four weeks – affect millions of Americans each year. If left untreated, these wounds can lead to infection, hospitalization or, in severe cases, amputation.

At our Advanced Wound Care and Vascular Center, our specialists use advanced treatments such as specialty dressings, debridement and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support healing and prevent infection. From diabetic ulcers to surgical wounds, we’re here to help.

If you or a loved one has a wound that won’t heal, don’t wait. Our specialists are ready to care for you.

Celebrating a major milestone for TriStar Summit Medical Center and vascular surgeon Dr. Billy Kim - his 100th TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure.

TCAR is one of the newest and least invasive treatment options for carotid artery disease, a condition in which plaque builds up in the carotid arteries, the major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. Over time, this narrowing can reduce blood flow or allow plaque to break loose, potentially leading to a stroke.
Traditionally, carotid artery disease has been treated with medication management or open surgery, but TCAR offers another option for select patients - particularly those considered higher risk due to age, anatomy or other medical conditions.

The procedure uses a small incision and temporarily reverses blood flow during stent placement to help prevent plaque from traveling to the brain.

"There are three ways to treat carotid artery disease," said Dr. Kim, vascular surgeon at TriStar Summit. "TCAR is the new kid on the block and one of the safer, more minimally invasive approaches to have in your toolbox. It's a small-incision procedure with generally fewer nerve complications and a lower stroke rate."

TriStar Summit continues to be recognized for excellence in vascular care. In 2026, the hospital was named one of America's 50 Best Hospitals for Vascular Surgery and received the Vascular Surgery Excellence Award, along with a Five-Star rating for Carotid Surgery.

In partnership with physicians like Dr. Kim, TriStar Summit is proud to provide advanced vascular care to the communities we serve.

Congratulations to Dr. Kim on this outstanding achievement!

This weekend, TriStar Summit Medical Center joined TriStar Skyline Medical Center, TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center and TriStar NorthCrest Medical Center for a fun community event: Color Our Community Safer 5K and 1-mile fun run at Drakes Creek Park. Our communities showed up, with more than 400 runners attending!
The event focused on keeping our communities safe. With May being National Trauma Month and Stop the Bleed month, it gave us a chance to provide hands-on Stop the Bleed training, sepsis prevention education and information. We were also able to share about different services offered in the area by TriStar facilities and our freestanding emergency rooms. Participants also picked up free bicycle helmets and enjoyed fresh-off-the-and griddle pancakes at the finish line. 🩸🚴🥞

A special thank you to Sumner County EMS for joining us and bringing Andy the Ambulance, adding even more fun for attendees of all ages. 🚑

We were excited to join together to run, learn and celebrate a safer, healthier community.
