Carilion leaders have made two new hires to streamline operations and improve services and support for clinicians.
Steve Morien has been named Vice President of Facilities for Carilion Medical Center. This is a newly created position that will oversee and streamline facility-related responsibilities, such as engineering and maintenance, among others. He’ll begin on Sept. 16.
The CRMH Cafeteria will be closed for renovations beginning Aug. 31 through early October as part of the ongoing Dining and Nutrition Services update associated with the Crystal Spring Tower expansion.
CRMH Lobby Pharmacy will be temporarily closed Thursday, Dec. 5 beginning at 9 p.m. through Sunday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 a.m. to transition to new pharmacy management software. This upgrade is designed to enhance both efficiency and patient safety, allowing us to better meet the needs of our patients and employees in the long term.
Beginning mid-September, part of South Jefferson Street will be closed to traffic while we construct a pedestrian bridge connecting the Crystal Spring Tower to the facilities and parking garage across the street. We expect this work to take about three months.
The impacted area is one block of South Jefferson Street between McClanahan Street SW and the traffic light in front of CRMH.
Traffic will be detoured to Rosalind Avenue SW and Carolina Avenue SW. We will keep the sidewalk on one side of South Jefferson Street open to pedestrians.
YES (Your Efforts, Supported) is a Carilion-funded program that paves a path for participants to learn, earn additional certifications and further their education to meet career goals—all while helping us fill important positions within our health system.
Our current participants in the program receive current Carilion wages and benefits while training and going to school full-time. We want to celebrate our second group of participants! To apply to the program for next year, the application will be announced on Inside Carilion.
Football season is upon us, and if you’re taking in an area high school football game this fall, you’ll notice our Sports Medicine team will be there, too. Every Friday night during football season, one of our physicians or PAs—and often one of our athletic trainers—are on the sidelines at 22 area high schools.
Your experience at work is a priority and we want to hear about it! The Employee Engagement and Culture of Safety Survey is underway, so please share your thoughts by Sept. 9.
To make sharing your thoughts even easier, we've compiled frequently asked questions for your reference.
When does the survey open and close?
The survey is open Monday, Aug. 19. You have until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 9 to complete the survey.
How do I access the survey?
Carilion Police Officer Morgan Witt first started with Carilion in October 2022 as a security officer with the goal of becoming a police officer. In November, she graduated from the Cardinal Criminal Justice police academy, inspired by her mother who also started with Carilion as a security officer and now is a deputy. During Officer Witt's time at the academy, she took a two-hour course on emergency delivery of a baby. She and her fellow officers never thought they would need to put these skills into practice.
