Carilion Clinic, headquartered in Roanoke, Va., consists of seven hospitals and provides health care services for one million people in western Virginia. “Every decision we make at Carilion comes down to how it will positively impact our patients and their care,” says Evelyn Garcia, M.D., chair of Carilion’s radiology department. “With the Sectra solution, we are looking forward to increased efficiency, better access to clinical tools and better integration across our system. And that’s just the beginning.”
