Fall is here, which also means it's flu season. Let's welcome the beauty of fall foliage without the worry of getting sick with the flu!  

Here are some facts about the flu and why you should get vaccinated to protect yourself from getting sick. 

What Is the Flu?

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infects the nose, throat and sometimes the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness and, at times, can lead to death.

As part of Sepsis Awareness Month in September, our teams were busy celebrating excellence in the recognition, treatment and prevention of sepsis—because our commitment to decreasing sepsis mortality and providing better patient outcomes is ongoing. 

Habib Samady, MD, will join our team as Carilion’s inaugural senior vice president and director of the Cardiovascular Institute. 

Dr. Samady brings more than two decades of leadership in advancing cardiovascular care, most recently serving as president of the Cardiovascular service line and co-founder and president of the Georgia Heart Institute at Northeast Georgia Health System. Prior to that he served as a professor of medicine, director of interventional cardiology and cardiac catheterization laboratory at Emory University School of Medicine.

This week, both Moody’s and S&P Global released bond rating reports related to our upcoming bond financing. Similar to a personal credit ”score“ maintaining a strong bond rating from these agencies allows Carilion Clinic to access capital markets at favorable interest rates, which is essential for funding our long-term projects.
