Today, leaders, donors and cancer survivors broke ground on the Carilion Taubman Cancer Center, marking the beginning of construction on the six-story building on the Virginia Tech Carilion Health Sciences and Technology Campus in Roanoke.

The building will replace our 41-year-old cancer facility on South Jefferson Street and accommodate the increasing number of cancer patients in our region as well as expand treatment options, research and support services.

Daylight saving time begins in the spring, when you set your clocks ahead one hour. It ends in the fall, when you set your clocks back one hour to standard time. Daylight time begins on the second Sunday of March each year and ends on the first Sunday of November.

Sprained it, strained it, broke it, bruised it?

Ortho Urgent is a new service opening Sept. 3 in Christiansburg, providing quick access when you have urgent orthopaedic needs.

Call-ahead is preferred but walk-ins are welcome. This visit will be billed as a specialty co-pay.

CRMH Lobby Pharmacy will be temporarily closed Thursday, Dec. 5 beginning at 9 p.m. through Sunday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 a.m. to transition to new pharmacy management software. This upgrade is designed to enhance both efficiency and patient safety, allowing us to better meet the needs of our patients and employees in the long term.

Football season is upon us, and if you’re taking in an area high school football game this fall, you’ll notice our Sports Medicine team will be there, too. Every Friday night during football season, one of our physicians or PAs—and often one of our athletic trainers—are on the sidelines at 22 area high schools.

In your job at Carilion, you might have access to Epic (our electronic medical record). Epic contains our patients’ most private information. They put their trust in us to take care of them, and it is up to us to respect their privacy.

Beginning Aug. 1, you will notice changes to the SafeWatch portal when you report an event.

Why? Because we listened to you! Entering a patient safety event, near miss or unsafe condition takes time out of your busy day, so we’re making your experience better.
