Ambulatory Nurses Week

During Ambulatory Nurses Week, we want to acknowledge the significant contributions of our ambulatory nurses across Carilion Clinic’s 200+ multispecialty clinics. Daily, your expertise, compassion, and professionalism guide our patients through prevention, specialty care, and chronic disease management.

Ambulatory nursing at Carilion is essential and continuously evolving. We aim for excellence by applying advanced clinical judgment, critical thinking, and care coordination, ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time.

As our health system transforms, we are developing models that better align nursing expertise with patient needs and team-based care delivery. The constant is the value of your expertise and its impactful use. We commit to building care models that enable you to practice at the top of your scope, contributing to sustainable, patient-centered ambulatory services.

We sincerely appreciate your professionalism, adaptability, and leadership during this period of growth. Thank you for your daily dedication and commitment to advancing ambulatory nursing. We proudly celebrate you during Ambulatory Nurses Week—and throughout the year.
