Seeing You Safely: Our Hospitals

Submitted by ktcork on

We will be visiting all of our hospitals in the coming weeks and months to learn more about how you have managed to turn challenges into opportunities for Collaboration.

Today we take a look at CFMH and CMC.

Entrances may look different with screening stations, but the same smiling faces are under those masks and PPE.

“I am very proud of our staff here at CFMH, both in the hospital and in the clinics. Everyone has worked and lived the Carilion value of Collaboration. It really did take a village to assure that our campus was safe for our patients, families, staff and community,” said CFMH Administrator, Carl Cline.

Flexibility has been at the forefront of maintaining momentum when resources may feel scarce and when we are presented with new requirements and evolving safety standards.

“Broad cooperation and a unified response have been critical to guiding our work and finding new ways to continue delivering the same great care our patients expect,” said Steve Arner, COO of Carilion Clinic and CEO of CMC.

Hear more from CMC chief of staff, Dr. Neil Macdonald, and CFMH chief of staff, Dr. Craig Bookout, about the great collaborations happening in Roanoke and Franklin County in these videos:

Our next stop is Carilion New River Valley Medical Center...stay tuned to the ePulse that arrives in your inbox every Friday!

Thank you to each of you for making a difference and setting examples everyday throughout the communities we serve.

Since March, we have all been working together to manage COVID-19 best practices for patient and employee safety.
All of our hospital administrators participate in regularly scheduled Incident Command Team calls to ensure consistency and understanding of the most up to date safety recommendations.
We are learning more from the chiefs of staff at all of our hospitals about the evolving safety measures and protocols related to COVID-19.

Our community hospitals have adapted and adjusted with support from our central Incident Command Team (ICT). 

We use the ICT to respond to emergency situations and coordinate a response. Each hospital also has its own ICT.
