TSG elves stuff stockings for Carilion patients

Submitted by krdillon on

The spirit of giving was alive at Carilion’s Technology Services Group when a group of employees organized a drive to collect items to stuff 250 holiday stockings and donate them to Carilion’s pediatric and adult patients. Soon after the call for donations went out, warm gloves and hats, fuzzy socks, coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, toys of all types, and a prized collection of Beanie Babies poured in. TSG elves spent two consecutive Thursdays at TSG stuffing the stockings and boxing them up before they were transported on Dec.

Dr. Lisa Uherick was recently recognized by Virginia Business magazine as 100 People to Meet in 2023!

The article highlights Dr. Uherick's work to create supportive measures and a caring environment for our emergency service team members, though her reach extends well beyond to other system-level efforts, like the Well-being Alliance and VTCSOM Well-being Taskforce.
