Home Health leadership identified the need to hire new graduate nurses in their practice environment for the first time. The leadership sought out the expertise of the Nursing Center of Excellence Transition to Nursing Practice (TTNP) team to plan and implement an orientation plan that supported the new graduate into this practice environment. Together, the home health leadership and TTNP team created an innovative approach to support a smooth, structured, and successful orientation for onboarding new graduate nurses in the home health environment.

The Western Region Therapy Department recognized their HAA's for Administrative Professionals day with a bowling event. It was a great time of team building and celebrating our fabulous front line staff!! :) 

We learned that our front line staff is not only great at what they do for us, but they are quite competitive when it comes to bowling. We are happy to have gotten to celebrate with them!!! 

CVI employees work hard to bring the highest levels of quality & expert care to every patient. It is an honor to announce the multiple ways CVI has been recognized since the beginning of 2023!

Mary Beth is a patient advocate in every way possible. We had an extremely difficult discharge that patient requested needs had changed frequently extending a length of stay concern. She went above and beyond to make sure all changing requests were met so the patient could leave. She even gave her personal cell phone number to the night RN so as new things came up they could be addressed before it extended the hospital stay. Great Team Work and fantastic patient advocate!! Love working with her and I hope she decides to stay with Carilion and continue to be part of the 7 West Team!

Carilion Clinic Hospice this year partnered with Mission BBQ, Vittles for Vets, Humana, and VA Department of Veteran Services to honor all Vietnam Veterans.

Several Staff members were in attendance including Renee Altizer, Treasa Rigney, Kelly Sweeney, James Jones and Melissa Gerth.

A shout out WOW to my co-worker Colleen Leonard with Carilion Direct Consumer Lines. I have worked with Colleen for a short time and have learned so much from her. Colleen’s work ethic reflects all Five C’s! Collaboration is the first to come to mind as she strives to keep the ship sailing smoothly. This includes behind the scenes work as well. She has extensive knowledge and finds answers to the many questions we are asked, and there are a lot of questions! She knows where to transfer the caller and will go above and beyond.
