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.

For Pharmacy Operations Manager Spencer, that commitment started while he was an undergraduate student at Lipscomb University. “I could see the need and value many of us have for medications and recognized an opportunity to make an impact on friends, family and patients in the pharmacy field,” Spencer says.

After completing pharmacy school, Spencer began his career with HCA Healthcare — where he has now served for 10 years.

Safety in every step is more than a standard — it’s a mindset. Our pharmacy teams anticipate risks, solve problems and support care teams in real time. Through their expertise and leadership, colleagues like Spencer help strengthen the care we provide and keep patient safety at the center of every decision.

This Pharmacy Week, we’re grateful for Spencer and our pharmacy colleagues whose knowledge, collaboration and commitment make a meaningful difference in patient care every day.

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

In honor of World Spine Day, we’re highlighting the importance of finding the right care when back or spine problems begin to affect your everyday life.

For Eddie, that meant coming to TriStar Centennial Medical Center for a two-part spine surgery performed over two days. During his recovery, he shared how much the support of his care team meant to him — from the nurses who were there day and night to his doctor checking in on his progress.

‘I couldn’t ask for anybody better,’ Eddie said of his care team, including TriStar Centennial Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, Dr. Elliot Kim.

Spine conditions can affect movement, comfort and quality of life. If ongoing back or neck pain is interfering with your daily activities, talking with a doctor can help you better understand your symptoms and what next steps may be appropriate.

“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.

This weekend, colleagues from across TriStar Health came together to support heart health in the communities we’re proud to serve. ❤️

With participation from all of our Nashville-area TriStar Health facilities, our teams raised more than $110,000 for the American Heart Association — helping support its work to improve cardiovascular health and save lives.

A special shoutout to our colleagues at TriStar Horizon Medical Center, who brought the celebration home to Dickson by hosting their first Heart Walk at the hospital. We’re proud to see our colleagues showing up for healthier communities across Middle Tennessee.

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated and supported this important cause!

For many people with blood cancer or other serious blood disorders, a blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant can offer hope — and it often starts with a donor.

According to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), most patients who need a transplant don’t have a fully matched donor in their family and rely on NMDP (formerly Be The Match) to help find one. NMDP ℠ is a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy that helps save the lives of patients with blood cancers and disorders.

As part of HCA Healthcare, we're proud to support this life-saving work through the Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Network — one of the nation's leading providers of unrelated bone marrow donor transplants in the U.S. Each year, this extensive network helps connect tens of thousands of patients with the care they need.

You could be someone’s match. Learn more and join the registry at https://bit.ly/4dv7dUz.

"I am here because of what your team did."

In June, Pastor Michael Peasall arrived at the TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center emergency department experiencing a massive heart attack. His care team quickly recognized how serious his condition was and rushed him to the cardiac cath lab, where they discovered five blocked coronary arteries.

Every minute mattered. Michael received an emergency balloon angioplasty to restore blood flow and stabilize, giving him the time he needed to safely reach TriStar Centennial Medical Center for quintuple bypass surgery.

Two weeks later, Michael returned to TriStar Hendersonville to personally thank the cath lab team.

For Michael, having lifesaving heart care close to home made all the difference. At TriStar Health, we cover all aspects of heart health, and our connected network of care means a smooth transition between our facilities to get the care you need.

“Today are we lucky to be here because of the people who step up when we need them the most."

Nearly three months after a devastating taco truck explosion changed their lives, Tim and Tiffany McPherson returned to thank many of the people who helped care for them.

On June 4, the TNT Tacos owners were seriously injured when their food truck exploded. Both suffered severe burns and were airlifted to TriStar Skyline Medical Center, where their recovery included surgery and specialized burn care.

Their reunion at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Carroll County brought together first responders, healthcare professionals and members of the teams involved in their care — an example of the collaboration that helps connect patients with the right care when every moment matters.

The gathering was especially meaningful as TriStar Skyline celebrates five years of specialized burn care. Supported by a state-designated Level I Trauma Center, the multidisciplinary burn program brings together specialists who support patients across Middle Tennessee through treatment and recovery.

For Tim and Tiffany, the day was an opportunity to reconnect with and thank many of the people who played a role in their journey. 💙
