TriStar Division hospitals across Tennessee brought joy and the holiday spirit to their patients during the month of December. From special visits from Santa, caroling colleagues and precious ornaments, colleagues embodied the HCA Healthcare mission and the spirit of the season.

Parkridge East Hospital nurses create one-of-a-kind ornaments for newborns this Christmas

Nurses at Parkridge East Hospital went the extra mile for their newborns this holiday season.  Each baby went home with a unique ornament created and hand-painted by nurses in the Labor and Delivery Unit. The nurses began working on the ornaments in October and completed about 200 of them by then end of December. In addition, each newborn’s footprints were added to the back of each ornament, giving families a one-of-a-kind keepsake to cherish for years to come.

TriStar Horizon Colleagues Come Together to Provide Christmas Experience for Patient’s Child

TriStar Horizon’s ER and Critical Care nurses came together to truly care like family and give the full Christmas experience for a patient’s 6-year-old son. After learning that the boy, Denver, would not be able to experience a normal Christmas with his mother in the hospital, colleagues came together to collect gifts for him and his family. They proceeded to go above and beyond by coordinating a special delivery of these gifts by Santa himself (TriStar Horizon’s CMO Matt Tincher). This special moment for Denver took place in TriStar Horizon’s lobby while he was surrounded by his Dad and all the generous colleagues who contributed to this special moment.

Santa and Mrs. Claus visit the NICU and Pediatric Units at TriStar Centennial

Santa and Mrs. Claus stopped by The Children’s Hospital at TriStar Centennial for a jolly good time to share holiday cheer to all who were near! They visited pediatric patients and our tiniest patients in the NICU. This is such a special moment for patients and their families who might not be able to experience these traditions because of a hospital or NICU stay. Colleagues at The Children’s Hospital at TriStar Centennial go above and beyond to help pediatric patients have an incredible holiday despite being in the hospital.
