"I had a patient distraught and crying over her health the other night. Megan came in the room to give her medicine, in no time she had the patient talking and then she was laughing. It touched my heart and soul to see a nurse with such compassion. Megan has the biggest heart and the utmost knowledge of any nurse I know!"
The nursing staff at Carilion Family Medicine Buena Vista remain dedicated to providing the best care possible to their patients despite having to go out in the snow to provide the care. Thank you Shannon Tomlin and Shannon Vest!

Our Red Boarding Pass process for the COIVD-19 pandemic has recently changed to an automated testing process. Initially, we needed providers assigned to this process to ensure the appropriate testing was done, but as our testing capacity has expanded, and our employees are better attuned to what is needed, we have been able to make the switch.
