At CRMH's Level 1 Trauma Center, we witness firsthand the impact of organ donation during life’s most critical moments. Our commitment extends beyond emergency care to educating donors and their families and fostering thoughtful conversations that support informed decisions about organ donation.

This dedication was recognized in 2024, when LifeNet Health recognized CRMH for “Most Lives Saved Through Deceased Organ Donation.” 

UPDATED: This week, we welcomed a new class of summer interns—92 of them in all at various points in their educational journeys. Some are in high school, the majority completing their undergraduate degrees, and even a few who just graduated a week or two ago. All of them are committed to learning and helping.  

Make sure to give yourself extra time if you'll be heading to CRMH this weekend. The Blue Ridge Marathon is taking place on Saturday, April 18. 

For most patients, an MRI means lying still for a long time in a loud, enclosed space. For 13-year-old Elias Dalton, it now also means getting to watch his favorite superhero movies.

What is a Requisition?

A requisition is how you request goods or services before they are purchased. Most purchases require a Purchase Order (PO). When you submit a requisition, you are asking for approval to purchase goods or services before they are ordered.

Remember: The PO should be created before ordering or receiving items – not after an invoice arrives.

Step 1: Creating the Requisition

Every year in honor of National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16, we spread awareness about the importance of advance care planning.

It's time for our annual Mother’s Day plant sale!  

The sale, held by CRMH and CNRV Volunteer Services and the Carilion Clinic Foundation, raises money for programs that help patients and their families.  

Both sales will feature a variety of flowering plants grown by Riverbend Nursery in Riner, VA!

At Carilion, we focus on hand hygiene 365 days a year, and World Hand Hygiene Day serves as an important reminder of the critical role proper hand hygiene plays in patient safety.

Hand hygiene is the foundation of excellent patient care and a requirement for employees under reporting agency standards. It is a simple yet highly effective infection prevention strategy that helps keep our patients safe while conserving valuable hospital resources.

Radford University is starting to gather input on plans for a new building expected to bring their Roanoke-based healthcare students under one roof. This is part of their 6-year strategic plan and will mark an important milestone in their role as a premier destination for healthcare education and talent development in our region.

This is the initial design and planning phase for the space, so additional details about facility location, scope, and timeline are not yet available.

Our mission to improve the health of the communities we serve starts with our own Carilion community—our employees and colleagues. To foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and supported, we are proud to support 5 employee-led Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). 

These groups provide a confidential space for sharing experiences, nurturing professional development, and building companionship. Whether you identify with a group’s focus or join as an ally, ERGs are a vital part of our culture.
