Ashleigh is always thinking of her patients and meeting their needs and "wants". Ashleigh had a patient that wanted a 3 Musketeers Bar and another that wanted a Mt Dew. Dietary had already closed so she went to the vending machine and purchased these for her "special" patients (But that's what she says about all of her patients). She is an awesome nurse, who keeps a positive attitude no matter what is going on. She is supportive to not only her patients but her co-workers too!

Food for food boxes

Submitted by ctcline on

The Rocky Mount Rotary Club, of which I am a member, has placed several "newspaper boxes" throughout the county and have turned those boxes into "food pantry boxes". The idea is to keep these boxes filled with food and hygiene items so that anyone in need can get what they want anytime, for free.

Dr Greer came from Daleville to help the CRBH ED staff deliver a high risk laboring patient. There was no time to transfer the patient so Dr Greer drove down to CRBH to deliver the patient. Kyleigh Arehart  also came down from the OR to assist the ED nursing staff with her years of labor and delivery experience.
