In today's world, many of us live with constant information overload. Each day is filled with too many words, videos, memes, distractions, and on and on. It's hard for our brains to keep up and know what information stays and what can go, but as healthcare professionals and Carilion employees, we're responsible for knowing quite a bit.  

To help you know more, with less, we are on a quest to "reduce the noise" and communicate with you better! Help us give you the information you need the way you want it. Take the Employee Communications survey by Friday, May 31!
