This month we will begin offering HP Advance Pull Printing to help keep information secure. With this option, you can send a document to any compatible Carilion HP multi-functional printer in your department and print it by tapping your Carilion proximity badge. You will still have the option to send print jobs to your specific networked printer for immediate printing.

Carilion Children's Pediatric Neurosurgery now sees patients in Lynchburg, providing expanded access to care and reducing the need for patients to travel far to see a specialist.

Chris Turnbull, who most recently assisted with our leadership transition, has been named Chief of Staff.

Federal Flexibilities are temporary policies and relaxed rules related to telehealth services that aim to enhance access to care and ensure continuity during emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic.

These flexibilities are set to expire on December 31, 2024. We remain optimistic that Congress will renew them during this session.

We have partnered with Safe Haven Baby Boxes (SHBB) to install Virginia’s first box at CRMH. Prior to 2022, Virginia law required parents to hand the newborn directly to a professional at a 24-hour Emergency Medical Services facility or Emergency Department within 14 days of birth. The new law provides a private and safe environment for relinquishing a baby up to 30 days after birth.

The holiday season at Carilion was filled with kindness, creativity and giving back to the community—here’s a look at how our teams have been spreading cheer.

Spreading Kindness and Giving Back

As a not-for-profit healthcare organization, we are mission-driven to give back to our community. Each year, we make significant investments in programs to improve our region’s health and economic vitality.

You can see the results of this work in our latest Community Health Impact Report (.pdf).

Winter is here and so are many illnesses that are infecting our communities. The flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and COVID-19, all highly infectious respiratory diseases, are always strong contenders during the winter season. This year, the Norovirus, a highly contagious virus that causes acute gastroenteritis, has also been making its debut. According to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Norovirus is currently widespread in Virginia.
