As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment, we are expanding on the safety programs we’ve been piloting. Metal-detecting wanding and a weapons detection unit have been in place in the Emergency Department at CRMH for a few months, and last month we started visitor badging on 4 North (Outpatient surgery) at CRMH. Now, we’re preparing to roll out these security measures at new locations to further enhance everyone’s safety.

Some of you may have received an email from WeightWatchers® about an update to your plan. Please be aware this information is incorrect. We understand this message may have caused concern, but you can be reassured that as Carilion employees you get support on your weight-health journey at no cost to you!

Mammograms are the best tool for detecting early breast changes, and we want to encourage all our patients 40 and over to be screened—starting with you!

Navigating the experience of having a family member or close friend receive care at a Carilion facility can be uniquely challenging for those of us who work within the healthcare system.

—The 2025 Employee Art Show opened Friday, April 18 with a reception and awards ceremony in the south lobby of CRMH. 

All Carilion employees, volunteers, retirees and immediate family members were invited to participate and compete for cash prizes. 

Centered on the theme, “Bridging Healing,” representing the connections built in the process of healing between patients and healthcare workers, family members or within the community, art is being publicly displayed in the CRMH lobby atrium through May 10. 

We're making it easier to contact our Technology Services Group (TSG)!

Starting Monday, April 14, the Now Mobile app—the mobile version of Employee Center—is available. If you have a Carilion-issued iPhone, the app has been automatically installed on your phone. If you have been approved to use your personal device for work, you can download it from the Carilion App Catalog on your phone.

We have decided to move the opening date of the expanded Emergency Department in the Crystal Spring Tower at CRMH. We had our “go no-go” meeting on Friday, April 11 and, based on a few outstanding items—including delivery of some supplies, equipment, and a couple licensure approvals—we decided to postpone until later this spring. 

The expanded ED is now open at CRMH as the first phase of opening the Crystal Spring Tower. CRMH is the region’s only Level I trauma center, designed to serve high-acuity patients. This expansion will make our ED one of the largest in the commonwealth.

When the expanded ED opens, there will be a new entrance for dropping off patients. We have created a video to help with wayfinding.

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!
