Quick, Convenient Access to
Emergency, Life-Saving Care
With five HCA Virginia ERs located
throughout Southwest Virginia in Roanoke,
Salem, Blacksburg, Pulaski, and Low
Moor, patients have access to emergency,
life-saving care, close to home. A sixth
emergency room - LewisGale Hospital
Blue Hills ER, located on West Ruritan
Road - opens in spring 2022. This strategic
location, which will provide the same
services provided in an emergency room
that is housed within the walls of a hospital,
will provide faster, more convenient
emergency care to residents who live near
this busy Route 460 corridor.
A new real-time, cloud-based communication
network and mobile app technology
to communicate lifesaving information between
its network of hospitals and emergency
medical services (EMS) in the field
was also introduced in 2021. The system is
the first in Southwest Virginia to offer this
real-time technology, enabling ER physicians
to diagnose in real time a life-threatening
event such as a stroke, heart attack/
arrest, shock, or sepsis before the patient
arrives at the hospital. It also enables the
ER to activate the appropriate healthcare
team to begin administering immediate,
life-saving care as soon as the patient arrives,
further increasing the odds of a successful
recovery.

Caring for the Communities We Serve
LewisGale Medical Center and its employees
care about your health and take an active

Training Tomorrow's
Healthcare Leaders
Looking to the future, LewisGale Medical
Center is helping train tomorrow's exceptional
physicians through its Graduate
Medical Education Program (GME) in internal
medicine, family medicine, psychiatry,

LewisGale Medical Center partners with
local schools and colleges to help build
relationships that foster the growth and
professional development of future nurses.
Through these partnerships, several nursing
programs hold their clinicals at our hospital,
some of our staff members serve as
students' clinical instructors, and other
nursing staff members sit on the advisory
board at Virginia Western Community
College and the University of Lynchburg.
