Earth Day isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a call to action, a chance to be part of something bigger than ourselves. At Carilion, we’re celebrating all month long with events and activities that connect us to our environment, our community and our responsibility to both. Whether you’re learning how surgical teams can reduce waste, digging your hands into the soil at Morningside Urban Farm, or joining a campus-wide cleanup, there’s a way for everyone to get involved. Together, we can turn awareness into action and show that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s part of who we are.

A Carilion-specific style guide is important for keeping everyone in the organization on the same page when it comes to written communication. It lays out the rules for things like tone, word choice and formatting so that everything—from emails and reports to social media posts and flyers—sounds like it’s coming from the same place.

We have updated our style guide. It includes writing tips, guidance on using intentional language, a list of frequently used terms at Carilion and more.
