Virginia Academy of Sleep Medicine Technologist Award

Lori Bodzioney (pictured 2nd from left) has been chosen as this year’s winner of the Virginia Academy of Sleep Medicine Technologist Award. This award recognizes a VASM technologist for their exemplary service and contribution to the polysomnographic profession. She will be recognized on Friday, November 4th during the VASM Annual Conference.

Lori has been a dedicated employee of Carilion Clinic over the past 4 decades with her last 19 years focusing on Sleep Medicine. Throughout her sleep career, she has held a variety of positions including night sleep technologist, day sleep technologist and for the past 8 years she has served as the clinical leader for our sleep lab and physician clinic at Carilion Rockbridge Community Hospital (CRBH). During her time at CRBH, Lori has led a small, yet passionate, team to provide exemplary services to a rural community which often struggles with obtaining specialty care services. She has served as a role model for other technologists at the local level and throughout Carilion Clinic’s overarching Sleep Medicine Program. 

Lori will be retiring in November of 2022, leaving a legacy of a strong sleep program that will continue to serve our community.
