Proud of you Ty!!

During Carilion Proud Week, we’re sharing stories from team members who bring “Care that Connects Us” to life in their work.

Over the past 7 years, Tyrone Molina has advanced from patient observation assistant to clinical associate in our Resource Nursing Pool, all while working toward a future in respiratory therapy. Inspired by the care his own family received, he focuses on building meaningful connections with patients through everyday moments of support, conversation, and presence. For Tyrone, “Care that Connects Us” shows up in the consistent, meaningful ways teams and caregivers support one another and their patients.

You know what to do on the dance floor, or anywhere else if you see a teen or adult collapse: Call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.

⭐ Clinical Partner Spotlight: Carilion Clinic!

One of our vital partners for many of our programs, including respiratory therapy, is Carilion Clinic. We caught up with Carilion and our RT students on their last day of spring semester clinicals. 🩺🫁

Speaking about the partnership, Tara Wiedeman of Carilion, said, “Our partnership reflects a shared commitment to preparing the next generation of respiratory care professionals. By working closely together, we are able to combine our strengths to create meaningful clinical experiences that benefit both organizations and, most importantly, provide students with the hands-on learning and support they need to succeed. This collaboration not only strengthens our workforce pipeline but also ensures that patients in our communities continue to receive high-quality care."

Together, we are committed to delivering high-quality education to our students and care to our communities.
