Carilion New River Valley Medical Center is a 146-bed acute care facility offering advanced imaging, robotic surgery, and multiple surgical and medical specialties, including a level 3 trauma center and the Carilion Clinic Saint Albans Hospital for psychiatry and behavioral medicine. Over the past year, the hospital partnered with a 24/7 obstetric hospitalist program to strengthen care teams and enhance access to emergency obstetric services, and supported four organ donors whose gifts resulted in 11 lives saved, which is the highest number the medical center has experienced in a single year. Carilion Children’s outpatient specialty care has expanded to include child development and pediatric neurology, nearly doubling the size of the clinic to join pediatric cardiology, endocrinology and gastroenterology in newly renovated space. The hospital’s CMS star rankings place it among the 280 hospitals in the nation with the lowest methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus rates for 2025. The American Nurses Credentialing Center recently awarded the hospital its “Pathway to Excellence” designation for the second time, a four-year honor held by only 281 hospitals nationwide and just six in Virginia. The hospital earned a high-performing status for kidney failure in U.S. News & World Report‘s “Best Hospitals” rankings for 2025-2026, as well as a CMS overall 4-star hospital rating.
