Katelyn Doxsee, Social Worker for Carilion Clinic Hospice in the NRV, went above and beyond for a patient recently to help get the patient reconnected with family and eventually transitioned to a facility that could provide the care the patient needed.
I personally want to say a Big Thank You for all the help I have received since joining this awesome team. No matter how busy we are, there is always someone that will step up to help another team mate. The Orthopedic Authorization Team is a great team to work with. Definitely no "I" in teamwork with this team.

Each year, during the month of April and leading up to Week of the Nurse in early May, CNRV employees are extended an offer to apply for the CNRV Nursing Scholarship. This scholarship was created in 2019 to provide financial assistance to a Carilion New River Valley Medical Center employee who is enrolled in an accredited school of nursing seeking a degree. This scholarship is made possible by generous donations to the Carilion Clinic Foundation by the staff and physicians of CNRV. The donations often come from fundraisers such as Clouds Clothing, cook outs and food trucks.
