"I chose to lead at Carilion because it's a place where talented physicians, APPs, residents, and fellows can make a meaningful impact, not only in patient care, but also in education, research, quality, and the future of our health system. Our culture is collaborative, mission driven, and focused on helping people build careers they and their patients are proud of."
