Rebecca Johnson of the ED at CRMH has been instrumental in her leadership as a CTL, her care and compassion for not just her patients, but for her coworkers and those she leads. She is the embodiment of a leader in her actions via capitalizing on teachable moments to improve our pt care, not because she has to but because she wants to, in her positive reinforcement in all that we do from furthering our educations to learning/practicing new skills, and most importantly, in her genuine care regarding our health and well being as co-workers.

Special shout out to Keri Garman, Sharon Perry, Marybless Ramsey, Kelly Wilhelm (our Quest phlebotomist) and the rest of the Employee Health office for the extra efforts given on New Years Eve! So happy to be a part of a team that always goes the extra mile to help out our brothers and sisters at CRMH. What a year it has been and we certainly went out with a bang! 

CONGRATS to the CNRV infusion center team!  The team was able to stand up the process for monoclonal antibody infusions to patients with mild to moderate COVID19 symptoms.  So far, they have performed 2 infusions and have the ability to offer this intervention to the community for patients diagnosed with Covid19.  A big THANK YOU to the leadership team and staff who worked so quickly to ready the infusion center.     

Gloria Bonds has been a dedicated Carilion employee since January 5, 1998 working in the OB GYN Department as a Healthcare Administrative Associate.  As part of this role, she has greeted thousands of patients during the past 23 years with great warmth and compassion at OB GYN Highland and OB GYN Jefferson.  With her soft spoken and humble mannerisms, she has built a friendly rapport with many patients, helping them to feel comfortable seeking healthcare.  Gloria exemplifies the Patient Experience, sharing empathy and support during trials

CRCH Inpatient Rehab Staff worked together to donate boxes full of useful, warm, and fun goodies for their patients! Each patient received a stocking full of items and a soft blanket. They were delivered on Christmas Day by our very own Santa (NA, Ken Eades), Mrs. Claus (NA, Christina Collins), and Rudolph (NA, Mamie Adams)! They brought many smiles and happy tears to our Rehab Patients on Christmas Day!

This WOW for Commitment  goes out to my colleagues in the Stonewall Jackson Sleep Center.

I went out-of-state on LOA for 3 weeks, and when I got back, I had to quarantine for a full 7 days and then a couple more days waiting for my results, (thankfully negative).  That's a long time to rely on others to do your job.

Johnathan Phillips, a registered nurse in the intensive care unit of Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital, was honored with the 2020 Year of the Nurse Award by the Virginia Nurses Foundation. Congratulations John! 

Many thanks to all the people at Carilion who have made it possible to receive the COVID mRNA vaccine.   A BIG THANK YOU to the nurses at EMPLOYEE HEALTH- who stayed late yesterday and throughout the week to make sure our workers stay safe!!!

EVS Supervisor Connie Beverly would like to recognize EVS Tech II Gay Ramsey for her outstanding attentiveness while working on the M/S Floor at CSJH/CRBH.  Gay was cleaning on the Medical Floor when she noticed that a patient was "shaking and wasn't acting normal".  Gay immediately notified an RN and a rapid response was called.  As a result of Gay's commitment to help others, she was able to help save the patient's life.

Our Clinic Practice Manager - Tracy Shirley-McCown is always there if you need her, and fearlessly leads us each and everyday.  

Thank you Tracy for being here this morning to ensure that all things ran smoothly, just in case some of us didn't make

it in on time due to the "supposed" Snow Storm.  (where's the snow?)  Thankfully all went well, and all of us are here!  We just didn't get

here as early as you.   All of us here at the Gyn Oncology Dept appreciate you!
