Congratulations to Jenny Dickerson on receiving the BEE Award from the Ambulatory Recognition Council!
Jenny was recognized for her outstanding commitment to patient care and the compassionate support she provides every patient she serves.

In the month of July 2026, Labor & Delivery experienced the highest volume of births recorded since 2008 at 358. At the same time, Mother Baby reached a record breaking 1252 admissions and discharges.
These numbers are impressive, but they represent so much more than volume. Behind every birth, admission and discharge was a team working with skill, compassion, flexibility and an unwavering commitment to patient care.

On Friday, five exceptional therapy team members at Carilion Inpatient Rehabilitation assisted a patient and their family with a challenging car transfer and loading of a power wheelchair. These team members voluntarily sacrificed their lunch time to help this family in their time of need. Claire, Nathan, Alayna, Josh, and Troy went above and beyond for a family and patient. We wanted to acknowledge and recognize these amazing therapists and assistants in their commitment to Carilion values. Thank you from Tara, Nancy, and Marissa.
When construction began on the Giles CT replacement, staff quickly discovered that hospital stretchers would not fit through the temporary mobile trailer door. Chris responded immediately, partnering with local EMS to identify a stretcher that could safely operate on the mobile lift and fit through the trailer entrance.
