It may seem too soon after 2023 performance reviews to talk about feedback, but giving and requesting feedback from others should be an ongoing process all year long.

Now that we're in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, this is the perfect time to start giving and requesting feedback.

We have submitted a Certificate of Public Need (COPN) application to the Virginia Division of COPN (DCOPN) to begin a renal (otherwise known as kidney) transplant program for adults at CRMH. If approved, it would become the only transplant program in Southwest Virginia.

Spectators at two recent Virginia Tech basketball games enjoyed the competition on Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum—and learned about our work to care for pediatric cancer patients.

What did it take to inform the crowd? Just our youngest patients and Hokies basketball players using their creativity to turn white sneakers into miniature works of art.

Did you know that heart disease and stroke kill one in three women?

Yet they are 80% preventable with education and lifestyle changes.

A high five is in order here! A lot of them.

For the fifth time, Carilion Medical Center (CRMH, CRCH and associated departments of our Roanoke Campus) has achieved Magnet® recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Of the 28 hospitals in Virginia with the Magnet designation, CMC is the only one with five years of recognition. And only 1% of Magnet hospitals across the nation have four or more.

Through Friday, Feb. 9, employees and patients are invited to share a story of healing through tiles.

On Thursday, Jan. 11, CGCH added two new robotic team members to their staff!

The Moxi robots, designed by Diligent Robotics, will start rolling down the hallways to learn the space and work with front-line teams to get oriented to our needs.

They are the first of their kind in our entire region and are acting as a pilot program for our system.
