Department of Anesthesiology
A word from our chair
"At Carilion Clinic, we believe anesthesiology is more than a medical specialty—it is a discipline that brings together medicine, innovation, teamwork, and leadership to transform the patient experience. Every anesthetic is an opportunity to deliver extraordinary care and improve outcomes across our beautiful region of Virginia. Looking ahead, we are committed to fostering a culture where clinical excellence, lifelong learning, and innovation thrive. Together, our physicians, our CRNAs, and our staff are building a department that not only meets the needs of today's patients but helps define the future of perioperative care for the communities we serve."
