Donut Deliveries Make Antimicrobial Stewardship a Little Sweeter

It is Antibiotic Awareness Week and our Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Team has been on the move. They are visiting ambulatory practices across the system and delivering donuts as a sweet “thank you” for everyone’s hard work in optimizing antimicrobial use! Practices included Family Community Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Velocity Cares spanning across the region.  

During these visits, we also shared updates on Carilion’s Antimicrobial Stewardship mobile app and the provider antimicrobial prescription dashboard—powerful tools that put fast, evidence-based, Carilion-specific guidance right at your fingertips to support safer, smarter patient care. 

Antimicrobial Stewardship is a team sport that takes us all! Special shout out to the Infectious Diseases division, pharmacists, providers, infection prevention team, microbiology staff, nursing teams, quality groups, and leadership team for their commitment and collaboration.
