Medical Services

Jump to Comments

I don’t have anything about medical services on the web site…although we are often asked about them…perhaps the forthcoming FAQs…

However, there are doctors and dentists here at the lake (with an increasing number of specialists) and hospitals (community hospitals in the county seats of Rocky Mount and Bedford and large hospitals in Roanoke and Lynchburg) and urgent care and two coming medical helicopter pads for fast flights out of here if the ambulance isn’t fast enough…an assisted living facility will open this summer.

But…the quality of care and healing is not something that you can really read in a black and white report…so we talk to people that have had dealings with these people and places and it’s all positive.  We visited a friend in stroke rehab this weekend in Roanoke and his wife was telling us how pleased they were with the care…and the people taking care of him….a much different experience than some of the stories we have heard from other parts of the country… and so good to hear if someone should ever have the need.
