After a head-on car collision left Nikki with critical injuries, she was taken to CRMH, where she spent more than a month wondering if she’d ever walk again.

A team of our Orthopaedic and plastic and reconstructive surgeons was able to save her foot, but that was only the beginning of her journey!

We are all #CarilionProud of the difference our teams make in the lives of patients like Nikki!

Recently, we have received reports of scammers claiming to be from the Virginia Board of Nursing contacting our employees.

In one instance, an employee received a fax with a fake "suspension of license" letter. In another, the employee received a call saying that "fraudulent activity was found on your nurse practitioner license." The scammer asked for personal bank account information; when the employee refused, the caller said the employee would be arrested.

Isaiah Johnson, M.D., will serve as interim chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology for Carilion Clinic and the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine while we conduct the search for a new chair.

It's almost time! 

Carilion Children's practices will be moving into the new Tanglewood facility over the next few weeks, weekend appointments will be available beginning Sept. 18, and the building will be fully operational for patients on Oct. 4.

Carilion Children's Tanglewood will include:

Patients who suffer a hypoglycemic event may have an increased length of hospital stay and a higher risk of long-term mortality and cognitive decline—not to mention, a poor patient experience.

That’s why minimizing hypoglycemia is essential to safe patient care and such an important measure of the quality of care organizations provide, and why we are making this a quality measure in our hospitals.

In our day-to-day work, we may come into contact with products that contain potentially hazardous chemicals — for example, Sani-Cloth Plus germicidal disposable cloths used for disinfecting surfaces or alcohol prep pads used for medical procedures. It’s important to be aware of the chemicals we use and the safety measures we should take when using them.

A new infusion center is now open to patients on 1 South at CRMH.

The unit is located in space that was formerly occupied by CTaC, the Health Sciences Library and classrooms. It has eight infusion bays, including one negative-pressure room to treat patients who require airborne isolation precautions.

Extensive renovations are underway, both inside and outside Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke!

Officially known as the Carilion Children’s Tanglewood Center, the building is planned to be completed in August 2021, with an official opening in early October.

A research study, also called a clinical trial, is how we get information on the best ways to prevent disease, diagnose illness and treat patients. There are many clinical trials going on at any given time, each designed to help answer specific questions about possible new treatments or new ways of using treatments that are already available.
