If stranded on a desert island, Robert Trestman, MD, PhD, Chair of Psychology and Behavioral Medicine, would bring "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking to read. Hear more from Dr. Trestman about his desert island essentials—and about our Mental Health services expansion, plus the ways we're prioritizing patient care—in his recent interview on the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association (VHHA) podcast:https://lnkd.in/eDyAYzuS.

It's exciting to see not one but two of our providers among the country's 200 best in Newsweek's first annual ranking of America's Best Vascular Surgeons!

We're glad to have Joshua Adams, MD, and James Drougas, MD, on our team for our patients! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/e22sbHrk

Happy Independence Day! We hope everyone has a fun and safe day! And a big thank you to all those who are working today to care for our patients.

Last week, rising ninth and tenth graders explored the world of medicine at Camp Carilion. 🏥✨ They practiced activities guided by our experts as well as others from Radford University School of Nursing and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.

In December 2023, Lauren Worley, a teen from Patrick County, was involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, resulting in multiple broken bones and a traumatic brain injury. After spending weeks at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital for neurosurgery, inpatient care and physical therapy, she made a remarkable recovery. In celebration of Carilion Employee Night, the Salem Red Sox invited Lauren to throw the first pitch tonight, with Vaibhav Patel, MD, her neurosurgeon, serving as catcher. ⚾ The Red Sox team presented her with a personalized jersey and Carilion baseball hat in front of a nearly sold-out crowd, including 25 of her family members and Carilion care teams—exemplifying what it means to be "Carilion Proud!" #CarilionProud #SalemRedSox
