LewisGale Regional Health System celebrated the grand opening of a new $2.4 million clinical simulation center in Roanoke County with a ribbon-cutting on Wednesday.

Four coworkers at LewisGale Montgomery came together Friday to spread the word about organ donation in honor of National Donate Life Blue and Green Day. Two of them are donors. Two are transplant recipients. Each said donation changed their life for the better.

There is a team effort underway to get to the bottom of what - or who - is causing harm to premature babies at the hospital.

Willie Johnson took this photo of the Christmas lights on Girvin Road. With the nice weather this weekend you may be thinking of taking your Christmas lights down but one big healthcare system wants you to keep them up. The parent company of LewisGale Medical Center in Salem and other LewisGale hospitals, HCA, is calling on everyone to keep lights up for healthcare heroes through January. As healthcare workers drive to or from their shift, the holiday lights will express support. HCA is calling upon every citizen, business, and community to keep their holiday lights up through January 31 to recognize those working in healthcare.
