From our APP Council Co-chair
"I've been a PA 16 years and at Carilion for 12, and I'm happy to call this place home. I've been able to grow as a clinician in ways I didn't expect, with real scope and colleagues who push each other to improve. It's an academic environment with the feel of a close-knit team. It's been a great place to raise a family and still feel connected to the community. I came for the career and stayed for the life around it. It's been a great place to call home."
