Kaleif works tirelessly day in day out with the patients on the floor and in the ED and with the doctor's on difficult readmit patients. She will find every available resource we have in order to help patients with issues whether they are big or small. She has only been in this role for about a year and it seems like it has been much longer with how much she does and knows.

Thank you Kaleif for all you do!

The Mother/Baby unit donated $350 to Feeding Southwest Virginia, supporting their mission to reduce food insecurity and ensure families have access to healthy, reliable meals.

Organized by Nicole Lester with help of the Mother/Baby POD Committee 

Mother/Baby at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital proudly donated to The Grove on Patterson, a sanctuary where pregnant and parenting women find care, compassion, and support as they navigate recovery and parenthood. The Grove’s mission brings together community leaders and healthcare providers to uplift families and inspire transformation.

I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Arzadon today, and what an incredible provider she is. Her positivity and genuine care were evident in every interaction. She was all smiles, uplifting with the team, and even took the time to personally walk her patients to the door instead of just giving directions. What an inspiration—so grateful to have her on the Carilion team!

Dr. Stephanie Lareau, our emergency department lead and Medical Staff President,  reached out to me last week for my support in putting together a “food bank” sort of program for CFMH. She was very concerned for our community and the need for families to have food in light of the possible discontinuation of SNAP benefits. 

The entire Toy Story group brought to RMH to round on the Pediatric patients on Halloween! 

Behind every great patient experience is an incredible team that spreads kindness, laughter, and a little Halloween magic! Happy Halloween from Riverside Infusion!🎃👻

Happy Halloween from all of us at CNRV Ortho!

Happy Halloween from the Roanoke Rehab Mental Health Therapy Team! This group of animal lovers decided to dress as Cruella and her Dalmatians, bringing a little extra cheer to the patients and staff in the Rehab unit.
