from the ceo Connecting With Y ou WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT TRISTAR W elcome! When it rains, it pours. Recently Dad had to have heart surgery at Centennial and while there, Mom fell at home and needed a complete shoulder replacement. With Mom and Dad on different floors, we experienced every area of the hospital. From the Emergency Room, doctors, nurses, techs, ICU, CCU, social workers, daily staff and volunteers at Centennial, we were very impressed with everyone. We now are in Rehab, and the sun is shining through the clouds. Thank you, Centennial, for having your act together. —Facebook post H OW E AR E W OING? D Dear Friends, W in a Gift Card !
