The new Carilion Children’s Pediatric Medicine – Rocky Mount location, which officially opens to patients on Monday, July 28, offers a 3,632-square-foot facility designed to meet the needs of young patients and their families. The space includes eight exam rooms, a procedure room, separate waiting areas for healthy and sick patients and kid-friendly decor throughout.
