Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital (CRMH) is a private teaching hospital in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. With 703 beds, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in the state. It is part of Carilion Clinic.[2][3]
The hospital was founded in 1899 as Roanoke Hospital.
In the 1920s and 1930s, its growth was funded through gifts of hundreds of thousands of dollars from David W. Flickwir, a railroad executive and contractor who had married the hospital's nursing superintendent. The hospital dubbed him its "Greatest Benefactor"; a 1925 building he funded, the Flickwir Memorial Unit, still stands.[7]
In the 21st century, the hospital completed a large expansion project, adding an emergency department, a labor-and-delivery unit, and the Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital, which has a pediatric emergency department.
