During the pandemic, our Pharmacy team has been working both on-site and remotely, finding ways to meet the needs of our patients.
While doing so, they’ve risen to COVID-19’s challenges with efficiency and creativity—whether coming up with a solution for a hospital-wide issue or tapping in to artistic talents on the team to enhance their pandemic-era hiring process.
When Susan Rivers, director, Carilion Clinic Life-Guard, learned flight operations were being impeded by helmets with problematic goggles, she contacted our COVID-19 Innovation team for assistance.
