Santa took time out of his busy schedule last week to visit with some of our youngest patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
On Monday Santa made another visit, this time at Carilion Children's Tanglewood.
Thank you to Santa and all his helpers for making these visits possible and bringing joy to our patients and their families this holiday season.

It's a new year, and your 2026 inservices and the flu questionnaire have been assigned in Workday.
Inservices are very important to the care and safety of our patients and employees; regulatory agencies require all employees to learn annually at the same time.
For these reasons, you must finish your inservices by Tuesday, March 31. If you miss the deadline, you will receive a type I disciplinary action with a progressive disciplinary action if additional deadlines are missed.
The deadline to complete your quarterly Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) learning modules is coming up! To maintain your American Heart Association certification, it’s important to finish all the required e-learning modules and skills activities by Wednesday, Dec. 31.
All progress on modules in Workday will be lost if they are not completed by Dec. 31. If you postpone finishing your quarterly RQI learning modules until Jan. 1 or later, you risk losing any progress you've made so far.
In the fall, our police department welcomed 3 new police officers who graduated from Salem Cardinal Justice Academy after 27 weeks of training.
