June 27 - July 1, 2022 is Worldwide Well-being Week. This gives us the opportunity to promote awareness around all aspects of our personal well-being. And what better way to spread awareness and celebrate well-being than with our community. Not only does it help you to stay accountable to your goals, but it's also more fun doing it with others! 

In celebration of Worldwide Well-being Week, we will be giving away well-being items on Employee Extras. The items in the giveaway include:

June 19 (Juneteenth) commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to take control of the state and make sure that all enslaved people be freed—a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. It became a federal holiday in June 2021, after Ms.

Technology makes it easy to connect when colleagues are working in different locations, but virtual meetings have different dynamics than in-person meetings. Here are some tips for making the most of your Teams meetings.

We know you are busy, so we are giving you an extra week to apply for this year's Quality Awards or nominate someone for the Values Awards, Provider Excellence Awards or President's Award. 

June is national Pride Month—commemorating years of struggles for civil rights for the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other) community and a celebration of LGBTQ+ culture.

As we evaluate our current leadership needs in the Department of Surgery, we’ve asked a familiar face, Stephen Lovern, to take on the role of interim vice president. We’re grateful for Stephen’s willingness to step into this position, particularly during this difficult time.

The Carilion Clinic IRONMAN 70.3 Virginia's Blue Ridge takes place Sunday, June 5. Following are parking changes, road closures and detours that may affect your route to CRMH and Riverside beginning next Thursday, June 2, and through race weekend.

We have recently seen an uptick in complaints about phone calls from scammers who illegally spoof Carilion phone numbers to trick patients into giving information or to commit Medicare fraud.

What is Spoofing?

Phone scammers often disguise their identity by using illegal spoofing techniques to send false information to your caller ID display. To trick people into answering, spoofers may use local area codes and numbers that look familiar. They may also impersonate a local organization.

CRMH is the region’s only designated Level I Trauma Center for adult and pediatric patients, providing the most critical care possible during emergency situations.  

There are four levels of trauma centers, but the classification system is not a ranking of medical care. Instead, it represents the resources available to care for patients—from the most complex multi-system trauma patient to those with mild or moderate injuries.

We have received a $1 million gift from Roanoke businessman and longtime community benefactor Maury Strauss. He made the gift in honor of his late wife, Sheila, to support the expansion of our cancer program.

The cause is close to Maury’s heart after losing his wife of 65 years to cancer in 2016. Expanding the number and scope of clinical trials available locally was the primary motivation for his gift.
