Meet Christina, an R.N. on a critical care unit. She’s just come home from her shift and bypasses her husband and kids to shower.

Roanoke Hospital began training interns and residents in the early 1900s to meet its need for skilled staff to treat patients for free.
For many years, Roanoke Hospital struggled to attract interns to its limited rural facility. Early on, one to three interns worked and trained at the hospital each year. Once interns were acquired, keeping them for a full year was a challenge because benefits were negligible. Interns were hired for one year at $50 a month.

Our pharmacies and our medication assistance program have joined together to develop a drug donation program. It is designed to provide an affordable, on-site option for patients who are otherwise financially unable to afford their current prescription medications.

Preserving and maintaining our history is the best way to know where we’ve been and how far we’ve come and to appreciate all the health care workers that came before us.
But there are mysteries in our archives—and you can help us solve them!
As we continue to evolve to serve our diverse community, we have partnered with LanguageLine Solutions, an organization that specializes in on-demand interpretation and translation services, to help us better communicate with our Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients who call Carilion Direct, our customer support center.

The people we work with are often our friends as well as colleagues. After all, we (usually) see them for almost as many hours a week as we see our families. Our coworkers provide us with different forms of social interaction, whether it’s eating lunch together, attending meetings or even working quietly near one another. If you’re working from home, here are some ways you can stay connected with your coworkers.
