Keep local hospital care and regional referrals on one map

Carilion New River Valley Medical Center lists a 110-bed acute-care facility with emergency care, advanced imaging, inpatient and outpatient surgery, interventional radiology, behavioral health, rehabilitation, and a Level III Trauma Center. Carilion describes stabilization and transfer to its Level I center in Roanoke when more comprehensive trauma care is needed.

The facility list provides a useful local anchor but does not establish the household's preferred doctor, network, wait time, prescriptions, home health, memory care, or specialist route. Confirm those details before moving.

  • Emergency, imaging, surgery, behavioral health, rehabilitation, and trauma services are documented.

Map a personal Christiansburg care plan

  1. Name the care team

    Confirm primary care, specialists, emergency care, pharmacy, dental care, rehabilitation, home health, and preferred facility.

  2. Check coverage

    Verify Medicare or other plan participation, referrals, prescriptions, prior authorization, and out-of-area services.

  3. Drive the hospital route

    Use the proposed home, hospital, parking, entrance, pharmacy, and return route in traffic and after dark.

  4. Keep regional backup

    Write the Roanoke referral, driver, helper, records, lodging, medicine, and transport plan before it is urgent.
