TriStar Horizon Invests $30 Million to Support Community's Growing Healthcare Needs

TriStar Horizon Medical Center, an affiliate of HCA Healthcare, is continuing to invest in the increased healthcare needs of Dickson and surrounding communities with enhanced services and a steadfast commitment to providing excellent patient care. In 2022, the hospital launched or completed projects totaling $30 million to expand access and improve patient care. This commitment is in addition to the $30 million in facility improvements made over the past five years at TriStar Horizon.

Significant investments in 2022 include:

• 15,000 square-foot, 14-bed state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit (ICU) - $17 million. The new ICU is scheduled to break ground in late 2022. This expansion will better accommodate the growing clinical services available to critically-ill patients.
• The 10,000 square-foot expansion of the Tennessee Oncology satellite office is currently underway at TriStar Natchez Medical Park - $5 million. The project is expected to be completed later this year. This partnership expansion between Tennessee Oncology and TriStar Horizon will better accommodate the region’s growing needs for those seeking cutting-edge therapies and cancer treatments close to home.
• Completion of a newly renovated cardiac catheterization lab (cath lab) in February 2022 - $1 million. The project included new equipment with significant technological advancements. These upgrades enable TriStar Horizon to provide superior, 24/7 heart care to patients in a timely manner.
• Planned enhancements to wound care services, inpatient rehabilitation unit and imaging equipment - $7 million.

At TriStar Horizon, our responsibility is to provide our community with the best healthcare possible, close to home. We have focused on evolving from a community hospital to a regional hospital that offers more robust clinical services.

Economic impact and community support
