Karen’s Story

In January, I will have been an emergency physician at CRMH for 20 years—more than 18 as medical director of emergency psychiatry. I know the rates of workplace violence against healthcare workers. We are among the most likely people in the world to be assaulted, severely injured, or killed on the job.

Submitted by eapullin on

We have enhanced our shuttle services across Carilion’s Roanoke campus to make it easier for patients, employees, and guests to travel between facilities, parking areas, and key campus locations.

The updated approach includes 4 shuttle options, with 3 using a simple color-coded wayfinding system at stops and on shuttle vehicles: green for campus, orange for Riverside, and blue for CRMH. On-Call is the fourth option and is available by request through Guest and Parking Services.
