First Transvesical Prostatecomy in our Region!

Congratulations to Charles Daniel, M.D., a Carilion Urologist for performing the first simple transvesical prostatectomy in our region, a procedure that treats various urologic conditions. It was done using the single-port da Vinci robot, a minimally invasive technique that results in fewer incisions and a quicker recovery time. Carilion’s Urology team continues to lead the way in offering cutting-edge treatments.

Did you know that CRMH has been the Commonwealth’s top donor hospital for three of the past five years?

Not only that, but nearly all of our hospitals recover donor tissue each year as well!

May 2024 Update: A Convenient Location and a Unique Local Partnership for our Proposed Hospital

We submitted the Certificate of Public Need (COPN) application on May 1 and are awaiting approval from the Commonwealth. In the meantime, we have proposed partnering with Riverdale Southeast, LLC, the Roanoke-based developers who are repurposing the industrial Riverdale property near our Carilion Medical Center campus.

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars form when breakouts penetrate deep into the skin and cause damage to the underlying tissue. Picking at breakouts and “popping” pimples can also lead to scarring, in addition to causing the acne to spread. 

Common types of acne scars are atrophic scars and hypertrophic scars.

Atrophic Scars

Our commitment to medical education continues to deepen, with a new orthopaedic surgery residency program preparing to welcome its first PGY1 class this July.

Each year, four residents will be chosen to take part in the five-year program. By July 2028, it will reach capacity with 20 residents. The program received formal approval in January by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

We have moved beyond the horizon, and now it's time to put Epic Hyperspace into Hyperdrive!

Are you ready?

Despite the flaking that results from wintry weather, many people avoid exfoliation during the winter months because it can dry out the skin. As the weather warms up and the humidity increases, however, our skin is better able to tolerate acids and stronger formulations.

Start Exfoliating

Spring is the prime time to return to exfoliating and brighten dull winter skin.

You don't have to limit yourself to just physical exfoliation. Chemical exfoliation can also be incorporated into your spring skin-care routine.
