Heart Care Network
TriStar Centennial and our sister TriStar Health hospitals were the first in the state and among the first in the nation to achieve Chest Pain Accreditation.
We have been working together as a network for more than a decade to provide community-based angioplasty, stenting, and other minimally invasive procedures.
When more specialized heart care is required, patients may be quickly and seamlessly transferred downtown to TriStar Centennial Heart & Vascular Center.
- TriStar Ashland City (Ashland City, TN)
- TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital (Bowling Green, KY)
- TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center (Hendersonville, TN)
- TriStar Horizon Medical Center (Dickson, TN)
- TriStar Skyline Medical Center (Nashville, TN)
- TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center (Smyrna, TN)
- TriStar Summit Medical Center (Hermitage, TN)
- TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center (Nashville, TN)
For patients having a heart attack, The American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the Joint Commission have established that blood flow should be re-established with 90 minutes of the patient’s arrival at the hospital’s Emergency Room.
Our average time is lower than the national benchmark of 90 minutes. Because of this success, we're able to save more heart muscle, which leads to better outcomes for our patients.
