Every family's infant feeding experience is different. Whether parents are breastfeeding, pumping, using formula, or combining feeding methods, having the right support can make a difference.

Carilion Children's and Carilion Women's have partnered to offer a new lactation services program. The program helps families navigate feeding challenges, answer questions, and build confidence in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

Power to CST is fully restored and all systems are back online. 

Thank you to all the teams who worked tirelessly to resolve the issue, minimize disruptions, and ensure our patients continued to receive safe, high-quality care throughout the event.

We launched our first integrated obstetrics and behavioral health clinic on October first, bringing specialized services together in one location to make care more coordinated and convenient for patients. 

We have applied to the Virginia Division of Certificate of Public Need (VDCOPN) to build the Carilion Christiansburg Center.

Our VelocityCare location on Electric Road will begin facility improvement to essential building systems, which are expected to take approximately 6–8 weeks to complete. While work is underway, we are making some temporary moves to accommodate our patients.
