Veterans Day Spotlight: Honoring Service Beyond the Uniform

This Veterans Day, we honor Levi, who served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Mississippi National Guard and is a valued member of our IT team here at TriStar Summit Medical Center.

As a logistics officer, Levi learned how every piece of a mission matters—and that if one part falters, the whole operation can be at risk. That mindset now drives his approach to teamwork at Summit.

“The military taught me the importance of working together and being someone others can count on. I try to pick up slack wherever I can so our projects run smoothly and no one carries the load alone.”

His favorite thing about working at TriStar Summit – the team: “I feel like I fit with the whole team - they are amazing. We work really well together!”

Whether you need help with your computer or your printer, Levi and the rest of the IT team are prepared with a wealth of knowledge and are always ready to assist with a friendly smile. They keep our technology running smoothly and play a key role in contributing to the excellence that we provide at the facility.

Thank you, Levi, for your service and for everything you do to keep our facility running smooth for the team and our patients! We are so glad you are part of our team!

Veterans Day Spotlight: Honoring Service Beyond the Uniform

At TriStar Summit Medical Center, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the service of our very own Jeff, Director of Service Excellence. Jeff brings a passion for excellence to our organization, consistently seeking ways to enhance the experience of every patient who walks through our doors.

Before joining Summit, Jeff served in the U.S. Army Reserve as a Military Police officer, including a deployment to Bagram, Afghanistan.

Reflecting on his service, Jeff shares:

“Most of us are in the habit of saying ‘thank you for your service’ to veterans, and I think that is wonderful! I feel the same way about healthcare workers—I am thankful for the service of my clinical colleagues every day and am honored to serve beside them.”

This Veterans Day, we want to thank Jeff—not only for his service to our country, but for the leadership, empathy, and excellence he brings to TriStar Summit every day. We are truly grateful to have him as part of our team.

Veterans Day Spotlight: Honoring Service Beyond the Uniform

When you first walk into TriStar Summit Medical Center, there is a good chance that the first thing you will see is a smiling Wade.

We are proud to spotlight Wade this Veterans Day for his service as part of our series that honors service beyond the uniform.

Wade provided service to the country in the Army, as a member of the 8th infantry division as an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) operator. He says that being in the military helped him with a lot of things, including leadership and teamwork, solving problems and being able to handle pressure with grace. This translates directly to his role at TriStar Summit, providing direction for patients that enter our facility, often delivering compassion, a listening ear and most importantly, embodying and extending the compassion, belonging and warmth to each visitor that steps through our doors.

“Working at Summit gives me a sense of pride for being able to help, comfort and console those in need, whether it is a patient, their loved ones or an employee. The warmth that I feel here at Summit does me good and helps keep me going.”

As we celebrate Veterans Day, we want to take a moment to thank Wade for his service – both to the country and TriStar Summit. We are so glad that you are part of our team.

🚨 Honoring Our EMS Partners 🚨

We recently honored emergency responders from the Wilson County Emergency Management Agency (WEMA) and Lebanon Fire Department with the “Excellence in EMS” award for consistently providing our communities with exceptional compassion and expertise.

During the ceremony our partners were recognized for their swift action, including one instance where they assisted a driver in a rollover motor vehicle accident. Emergency care was provided before transportation to our TriStar Summit ER for continuing care just 41 minutes after responders arrived on the scene.

This is just one of the many examples of the important partnership between multiple entities, all working together to provide the very best in patient care for individuals when minutes matter the most. Their actions reflect the courage, skill, and heart that define emergency medical and fire professionals.

Join us in thanking our partners for their life-saving work!

new screening technologies can detect lung cancer at early stages – often before obvious symptoms like a persistent cough or hoarseness appear. Early detection saves lives. Across our broader HCA Healthcare system of care, the Sarah Cannon Cancer Network treats over 12,000 lung cancer cases annually, giving us deep insight into how early intervention can make all the difference.

You may qualify for lung cancer screening if you’re a current or former smoker, or if you have prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke. Call (615) 342-LUNG or tap the link to learn more: https://bit.ly/3X9F7W6.

TriStar Summit CEO, Cindy, recently had the privilege of joining our incredible Wilson County EMS partners in Lebanon for a ride-along, learning and experiencing a day-to-day shift from these incredibly important partners. (Shoutout to the specific folks we were partnered with: Shift Commander James Copas, Paramedic Emily Davis, AEMT Austin Abbruzzi and Lts/paramedics Austin Barnett and Jared Fuller.)

These frontline heroes are often the first point of care for our patients, and their work and partnership are critical to the care we provide at TriStar Summit. Whether stabilizing stroke patients, managing trauma, or offering reassurance during a crisis, EMS teams are essential in our shared mission to deliver timely, life-saving care.

We're proud to collaborate with such dedicated professionals and grateful for the opportunity to spend some time with them.

🎃 Halloween Safety Tips from Your TriStar Summit and Mt. Juliet ER Team 👻

As the emergency department, we see firsthand how quickly Halloween fun can turn into a visit to the ER. Here are a few tips to help keep your night safe and spooky, for all the right reasons:

1. Costume Safety Matters
• Choose flame-resistant materials when choosing costumes or festive clothing
• Avoid trips and falls with well-fitting costumes and avoiding masks that can obstruct vision. Consider using makeup instead of a mask to make this even easier!

2. Trick-or-Treating Tips
• Stick to well-lit areas and carry flashlights and glowsticks to light the way and to make sure you are visible.
• Pay attention to traffic flow and never assume a car can see you.

3. Candy Check
• Inspect all treats before eating and avoid handmade goodies unless you know the source. Watch for choking hazards for younger kids such as small toys or hard candies.

4. Driving with Extra Caution
• Be alert for children crossing streets unexpectedly.
• Drive slowly in residential areas and avoid distractions, especially if driving during trick-or-treating hours or when it is dark.

5. Pet Precautions
• Keep pets indoors and away from the door.
• Chocolate and candy can be toxic—store them out of reach.

From all of us here at TriStar Summit, we wish you a safe, healthy, and happy Halloween! 🏥🎃
