• In November 2005, we announced a partnership with Anthem and Lewis Gale Medical Center to become tobacco-free for our employees. Anthem made their Roanoke-based facilities tobacco-free in November 2005, and Carilion and Lewis-Gale did the same in June 2006.

• In November 2006, we again partnered with Lewis Gale Medical Center to announce that both organizations' Roanoke facilities would become tobacco free for everyone - including patients and visitors - as the next step in this initiative. The transition to completely tobacco-free environments in our Roanoke facilities took place on July 4, 2007. For more information, click here.
