About Us

Help us Improve the Health Care Experience

At Carilion Children's, your voice counts. Partnering with us on the Family Advisory Board (FAB) gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts and suggestions about your experience in our Children's Hospital. This will help us determine changes needed to better serve you and your neighbors in the future. We are interested in hearing both the things that we did well so that we continue to do those, and what could have been done differently to improve your time with us.
