Carilion Clinic Riverside Center Continues to Develop

Nice panoramic photo of the Riverside Center (and Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital) as the sun comes up over the top of Mill Mountain. It gives a real sense how far we’ve come in the transition from a brownfield to a picturesque setting framed by Virginia’s mountains.

More Hospitals Restrict Visitation to Protect Visitors and Patients from H1N1

Yesterday Centra Health in Lynchburg placed restrictions on visitors under the age of 13, and limited the number of visitors a patient with flu can have.  The move is similar to Carilion’s announcement Wednesday,  temporarily restricting visits from people under 18, and limiting patients to one visitor at a time.  It is worth noting that the CDC says that a person infected with flu can be contagious a full day before they start showing symptoms.

Watch WDBJ’s coverage of Carilion’s new policy, including comments from hospital visitors.
