I wanted to personally thank Adrian Wilson for offering to pick up staff that were unable to make it to work during the snow storm on Monday.  He really showed a lot of commitment to our team by safely helping staff get to work today.  I really appreciate him for going the extra mile, or several miles!

During the recent snowstorm, you all truly showed what commitment, teamwork, and compassion look like. Despite challenging conditions, you showed up, supported one another, and continued to provide excellent, patient-centered care when our patients needed it most. Your dedication did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

A huge thank you to our Facilities teams across the Carilion sites who worked through a tough and unforgiving winter weather event.

This storm wasn’t a clean snowfall — it was heavy, mixed precipitation with sleet, which is one of the hardest conditions to manage. The weight of the precipitation made removal very challenging. Despite that, our teams stayed after it — plowing, pushing, salting, troubleshooting equipment, and adapting in real time to keep our campuses accessible and safe.

Congratulations to Sonya Davidson CNRVs Bee Award Winner January!

Sonya's patient commented on how kind and respectfully they were treated and how she went above and beyond. "The unit is blessed to have Sonya, and the patients are lucky to have her."

Congratulations to the following employees for being recognized on The Roanoker's "40 Under 40" list! We are proud of your hard work and dedication, and honored to have you on our team. 

Lindsay Collins, Vice President, Oncology Services, was recognized for her role in the development of our new Carilion Taubman Cancer Center. Her work, serving as an advocate promoting wellness and healthcare access through the process, has been outstanding. 

It is my opinion that LaShonda Otey is the BEST clinical associate ever!!  Each time LaShonda has handed-off to me, it's been an exceptional experience.  LaShonda is a polished professional, with a mixture of genuine compassion for the patients that she services.  Thank you, LaShonda, for putting the "care" back into healthcare.  

Family and Community Medicine would like to shout a loud THANK YOU to Lakein Maynard and David Baker for helping us with our new call coverage program. WOW! You have done an amazing job and we appreciate you both so much for your Commitment to the Community!

During a medication review, Natalie’s exceptional attention to detail helped identify a scheduling error that could have led to a significant medication issue. Her vigilance prevented a potential harm event and ensured our patient received the correct care at the correct time.

Natalie’s commitment to accuracy and patient safety exemplifies the high standards we strive for every day.

Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and for keeping our patients safe!
