ROANOKE, Va. – Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital’s new emergency department is now open.
This expanded facility is one of the largest in the Commonwealth and will serve as the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, designed to accommodate high-acuity patients.
The new emergency department will feature:
- 125 ED beds, including an expanded observation unit
- 5 trauma bays, which include the region’s first dedicated Level 1 pediatric trauma bay
- A dedicated pediatric emergency waiting area, triage space, and patient rooms
- A new helipad for improved access
The emergency entrance will be located off South Jefferson Street, with patient drop-off available at the traffic circle in front of the tower.
