To help meet the increased demand during the cold and flu season, VelocityCare Roanoke at 419/Electric Road is extending its hours beginning Sunday, Nov. 16. 

The clinic will open at 7 a.m., Sunday through Thursday—an hour earlier than usual. From 7 – 8 a.m., services will be available for walk-in appointments only, giving patients more flexibility to get care before getting on with their day. This change is only at the 419/Electric Road location. 

Four months after the public launch of the Reaching Far, Caring Close campaign, we’ve raised more than $105 million to fund the new Carilion Taubman Cancer Center.

Building on that success, Nick and Jenny Taubman have made an additional $17.5 million gift to help bring proton therapy—one of the most advanced cancer treatments available—to Roanoke. Their generosity launches the next fundraising phase, with a $50 million goal. Including a recent $2.5 million anonymous gift, $20 million has already been raised toward that vision.

We now use Elsevier Clinical Skills instead of Cornerstone to more efficiently track and validate essential skill validations that must be completed during orientation and annually. These validations confirm the knowledge and skills needed for your role and quality patient care.

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance safety efforts and maintain a secure environment across our system, we will roll out metal-detecting wanding in several community hospitals. 

We heard you, and in response to your feedback CTCH will be the first community hospital to implement bedside wanding in the Emergency Department (ED), starting Nov. 1. CGCH and CFMH will roll out the same safety measure on Nov. 15 in their EDs.
