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.”

Breast cancer screening isn't one-size-fits-all. Your personal breast cancer risk can help guide what's right for you.

Your age, family health history and other breast cancer risk factors can all play a role in when to begin screening. For people at average risk, screening mammograms often start at age 40, but your doctor can help you decide what’s right for you based on your health history and personal risk. Swipe to learn more about screening guidelines.

Today is , and our hospitals are standing united in pink to share an important reminder: Early detection saves lives! 💗

Routine mammograms can help catch breast cancer early, when it's often easier to treat. If you're 40 or older, talk with your doctor about screening, and encourage someone you care about to do the same.

At TriStar Health, we offer advanced breast imaging and diagnostic services, including 3D mammograms, at 11 locations across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.

“I wouldn’t be here without the folks at this ER."

When Thomas Covey began experiencing unusual chest tightness, he knew he shouldn’t ignore it. He thought of his neighbor, Emily Henry, a nurse at TriStar Lovers Lane ER.

There was a problem: Thomas didn’t know where the ER was, so he called his neighbor.

Hundreds of miles away at her bridal shower, Emily gave Thomas the address. That phone call launched Thomas's journey through three TriStar Health facilities, ultimately saving his life.

Thomas received emergency care at TriStar Lovers Lane ER before being transferred to TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital for advanced cardiac care. When physicians determined he needed emergency heart surgery, his care team coordinated a transfer to TriStar Centennial Medical Center for a quadruple bypass surgery.

After recovering, Thomas returned to TriStar Lovers Lane ER with family and treats in hand to say thank you! ❤

In Thomas's time of need TriStar Health's connected system of care was ready and equipped to respond with lifesaving emergency care.
