Congrats Amanda Childress! Cardiac Rehab!

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Revenue Cycle Hospital Billing team put together bags of goodies to donate to patients while they are in treatments. 

This past weekend, Carilion Children’s staff and the Family Advisory Board (FAB) brought Halloween fun to the NICU, PICU and Pediatric patients! The Family Advisory Board hosted pumpkin painting, supplied goody bags and made costumes for NICU patients. From a burger and fries, a gumball machine and a cow, to Mario, Princess Jasmine, pumpkins and more, the creative costumes brightened the day of our NICU families and made sure Carilion Children’s tiniest patients didn’t miss out on Halloween.

Waynesboro team supporting staff member currently fighting a rare cancer.  We are here for you and miss you very much. 

Last week while in the cafeteria at CRMH I noticed an employee greeting others with a huge smile and kind words. He was obviously there on his lunch break, but took the time to get up, greet others, and offer them a kind word. I was SO impressed with his kindness that I had to go sit at his table and find out for myself who this gentleman was. Mr. Montrese Starkey with Env Services. Montrese, the world needs more people like you! Carilion is blessed to have you as a part of our family. 

Carilion Family Med of Wytheville would like to recognize our very talented artist Casandra Smith, HAA for the awesome window art she has painted for us again this year! Thank you Casandra for sharing your talent for us and our patients to enjoy. The patients are always happy to see the window art upon entrance of our clinic. We get so many compliments about it. 

Lisa Dudley, Lacy Mathias and Iris Tabor all from our Patient Access Department, and Linda Hodges with Carilion Foundation, as well as Denise  Stockton, our dietary manager put together a fabulous picnic to promote our Employee Campaign today. It was a beautiful day for a picnic and they took in many pledges/contributions for our 2023 Carilion Cares Employee Campaign. CFMH cares!!!!!

Josie had a patient that was requiring emergency surgery and she found out it was the patient’s birthday. She thought it would be nice to find a birthday card for her and give to her after surgery when she was admitted. Mary went to a local store and bought the patient a balloon and a card. Josie took the card and balloon to the patient on med/surg after she was admitted. The patient was very happy and appreciative!

The BEE Award was created to celebrate Carilion Clinic's outstanding ancillary staff. Jordyn, while being a nursing student from Ferrum, performed her job with such care and compassion for her patient. Jordyn has a great career ahead of her in nursing. Please take a moment to read her story. 

I would like to say thank you (Jo) Josephine Callaway for finding Kim Williams wallet and returning it to her. She did not know she had lost her wallet. Kim was very thankful and we are blessed to have honest EVS employees like you Jo!!
