Behind every diagnosis is a dedicated lab professional 🔬💙

During Lab Week, we’re proud to recognize our Laboratory Tech of the Year, Azeb Yifru.

With 10 years of experience, Azeb plays a vital role behind the scenes—ensuring that every specimen is handled with precision, labeled correctly, and processed with the highest level of quality. From preparing lab packages to supporting accurate results, her work directly impacts patient care every single day.

“I like to help people and I enjoy working behind the scenes,” Azeb shared.

Trained in chemistry and always ready to step in where she’s needed most, Azeb is known not only for her expertise, but for her dedication and teamwork. “My coworkers are supportive and kind—I enjoy my work,” she said.

Her commitment to excellence ensures that providers have the accurate information they need to care for patients.
Because at TriStar Summit, we know—you can’t take care of patients without the right information.

Thank you, Azeb, for the critical role you play in delivering exceptional care. đź‘Ź

Excellence when every second counts đźš‘

When a patient arrived at the ER at TriStar Summit with what chest pain, our team didn’t wait—they acted.

The patient was immediately taken to a treatment room, and within just 4 minutes, Denise had completed an EKG. That quick action revealed something critical: a STEMI—an active heart attack.

Because of Denise’s urgency and clinical expertise, those life-saving minutes were not lost. Her rapid response set everything in motion, and the entire team quickly jumped in to deliver the care this patient needed—leading to a full recovery.

Situations like these is why we have a goal of completing EKGs within 10 minutes and prioritizing immediate access to a treatment room. In moments like this, every second truly matters.

“This was a proud moment,” shared the Gabe, the ER director. "This was amazing care not only by Denise, but by a whole group of professionals who work seamlessly together when it matters most."

This is what excellence looks like in our ER: rapid response, teamwork, and a relentless commitment to doing what’s best for every patient who walks through our doors.

Thank you to Denise and the entire TriStar Summit ER team for delivering exceptional care when minutes matter most. đź’™

Empowering excellence through education 👩‍⚕️📚

This week, we’re proud to recognize our incredible Education Team at TriStar Summit—dedicated professionals who ensure our caregivers have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver exceptional patient care.

Meet Kelly, one of our Clinical Educators, who has been with TriStar Summit for 4.5 years. Kelly was inspired to become an educator after her own early experience in healthcare showed her how important strong onboarding and support truly are. She made it her mission to create a better path for new nurses—one where they feel prepared, confident, and ready to provide outstanding care from day one.

She recently shared a story about a nurse who reached out for help with IV skills. Through guidance and practice, that nurse was able to strengthen her abilities and better serve her patients—exactly the kind of impact that fuels Kelly’s passion.

“I love connecting with new nurses and other caregivers to help them bloom in their professional careers,” Kelly says. “I’m always asking myself—what is the truth here? What is the best practice that will give exceptional care to our patients?”

Fun fact: Kelly originally studied computer modeling and animation with dreams of becoming a video game designer—skills she now uses to create engaging flyers and infographics that simplify clinical updates for teams across the facility.

Alongside a talented group of educators with diverse specialties, Kelly helps lead education efforts across the division, ensuring every team member has access to the tools they need to succeed.

“If you love to learn, we love to help provide that education.”

Here’s to a team that truly makes a difference—by investing in our people and elevating patient care every day. 💙

The people who keep everything moving đź’™

This Administrative Professionals Day, we’re celebrating the incredible work of Katie and Carolyn at TriStar Summit—two team members who help make it all happen behind the scenes.

Katie, who is dedicated to nursing, brings creativity, organization, and heart to everything she does. “My favorite part of my job is how many hats I get to wear,” she shared. “From designing materials and coordinating events like Nurses Week to supporting our Nursing leadership team across all units, I help things run smoothly behind the scenes.”

Carolyn, who supports administration, has over 20 years of experience and plays a vital role in keeping operations connected across departments. “Every day is something new,” she said. “It’s about collaboration and helping people get where they need to be.” She also serves as a liaison between teams and the community—always focused on making a difference. “There’s not a day that passes that I don’t know I’ve helped make someone’s life easier.”

Together, they represent the dedication, adaptability, and teamwork that define excellence at TriStar Summit.

Today, we celebrate the administrative professionals who keep our teams supported, organized, and thriving—thank you for all that you do! We appreciate you! ✨

At TriStar Summit, excellence isn’t just about clinical care—it’s about every step of the patient experience, especially life’s biggest moments. 💙

Ann is a valued member of our Health Information team who has been with us for nearly three years. When asked what her favorite part about working at TriStar Summit is, her answer says it all: “Seeing all the new babies.”

Behind the scenes, Ann plays a critical role in helping set new families up for success from day one. From assisting with birth certificates to guiding parents through Social Security paperwork, she helps remove stress and confusion—so families can focus on what matters most: bonding with their newest addition. Her calm, compassionate approach ensures each family leaves with confidence, knowing important details are handled and their baby’s future is off to a strong start.

Many families have experienced her kindness, including one of our own. Britnee, our Director of Physician Relations, was supported by Ann when she delivered her first baby right here at TriStar Summit—making a special moment even more meaningful.

It’s team members like Ann who bring excellence to life in ways that truly matter—helping create smooth transitions, strong beginnings, and lasting memories for the families we serve. ✨

đź“Š Celebrating Health Information Professionals Week at TriStar Summit! đź“Š

This week, we recognize the incredible work of our Health Information Management (HIM) team—the behind-the-scenes experts who help keep our hospital running smoothly and ensure patients receive the highest level of care.

From team members like Davis, who brings over 10 years of healthcare experience (including 4.5 years at TriStar Summit), to Erica, our HIM Coordinator, approaching 3 years with us this June, their dedication shows in everything they do. As Erica shared, “I love being able to reach out to the physicians and make sure patients are taken care of and get records in a timely fashion.”

We’re also proud of Mikaela, our newest team member, who is reaching her 60-day milestone while finishing her final semester in Healthcare Management. She chose this field because “I knew I wanted to be in healthcare. I like people and like being able to help on the back end.”

Their commitment to accuracy, timeliness, and collaboration supports clinical excellence every day—ensuring providers have the information they need and patients receive seamless care.

Thank you to our HIM team for your hard work, dedication, and the vital role you play in delivering excellence at TriStar Summit! Happy Health Information Professionals Week!

At TriStar Summit Medical Center, we know that healing comes in many forms—and sometimes, it sounds like music.

Ed Watson recently came to TriStar Summit. A Navy veteran and former Top Gun pilot, Ed carries a remarkable story, though you might never guess it from his quiet and humble demeanor. Music has always been a central part of his life and family, and he is a member of the Hallmark Quartet—a four-person group, all originally from Pittsburg, dedicated to bringing joy to others by singing in churches and nursing homes.

“There is something magical and special about music,” Ed shared. “We [The Hallmark Quartet} would go into memory care centers where people didn’t remember much, but when we started singing songs from their past, they would begin nodding their heads, tapping their toes, and singing along.”

Ed never imagined he would one day experience that same healing power himself. But during his time at TriStar Summit, his fellow quartet members came to visit—and what started as a simple visit turned into an impromptu concert filled with harmony, connection, and joy.

“I am an optimist—I believe in the healing power of music. It brings the beauty of life to the forefront,” Ed said.

A longtime resident of Nashville and former Executive Director of the Barbershop Harmony Society, Ed has spent years giving back through music. Now, in a full-circle moment, that same gift brought comfort and healing to him.

“This is a wonderful hospital. They all care for you. We are always saying thank you—we are so appreciative.”

Moments like these remind us that healing goes beyond medicine. It lives in compassion, connection—and sometimes, in a song. 💙

This week, we celebrate Medical Laboratory Professionals Week and recognize the incredible team behind the scenes who play a vital role in delivering exceptional care, both day and night.

Our laboratory professionals are essential to clinical excellence—providing accurate, timely results that guide diagnosis, treatment, and healing. Lab work is often the first step in a patient’s healing journey, helping us understand what’s happening inside the body in ways we otherwise couldn’t see. Their precision, expertise, and dedication make a difference in every patient’s journey.

At TriStar Summit Medical Center, excellence starts with people, and we are proud to celebrate the commitment and impact of our laboratory team.

Thank you for all you do to support quality care every day! đź’™
