Her team has been by her side this last year, cheering her on and giving her love and support. CVI wanted to dedicate a day to Beth! Beth wants to remind everyone to get their mammogram!

The 4S PACU dressed in PINK on Breast Cancer Awareness Day. PACU wears pink for hope, courage, and strength.
Carilion Family Medicine in Blacksburg collected over 250 pounds of items to donate to those affected by Hurricane Helene. Dr. Cory Cummings and Dr. Lindsay Call spearheaded this effort with the support of the entire clinic staff. Thank you all for supporting our community!
Wanted to recognize Peter Hannon, who went above and beyond last week during endoscopy. He stopped in to see if we needed anything, and realized our patient was too heavy for us to maneuver easily. He stepped in, gladly helped us and stayed for the case to give abdominal pressure during the colonoscopy.
Super kind and so very appreciated!

While we're just now heading into the fall and winter holiday season, our teams on 11S and 11SICU celebrated early this year to put a smile on a this sweet patient's face in the days leading up to her heartbreaking death.
Here is a note from her mom:
Courtney helped attempt to jump car battery before starting her shift. Unfortunately it would not start but her willingness to help was very appreciated!!
Jessica Shervey is a 4 South PACU CA. Her husband Joey has been on the kidney transplant list. On July 16th Jessica and Joey found out there may be a potential live kidney donor for Joey. On July 18th Jessica and Joey met the potential donor via FaceTime. On August 5th, I received an evening phone call from Jessica Shervey who stated the potential donor was a perfect match and surgery was going to be scheduled. This was an exciting and tearful evening for many in the 4 South PACU as this was a miracle.
