#CarilionProud: Voices From Our Frontline

Updated Nov. 11: Five videos are now included below. Check them out!

After the first wave of COVID-19, many people thought it was over—we know better than most that it still isn't over.

The dedication of our frontline workers is still appreciated by patients, families and the community. Recently, we shared video and staff interviews from our COVID-19 ICU with local media. The goal in offering this candid look into CRMH is to make sure our community understands the reality of COVID-19 and is exposed to the most credible and responsible information about why the vaccine is important now more than ever.

Take a look at the links below for what some local stations have run in their newscasts.
