A big thanks to Tara Wheeler, Miss Virginia 2008, who came to the Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital pediatric clinic on March 3rd to read to patients waiting for their doctor's appointments. The Dr. Suess birthday event is one of the ways Carilion participates in the Reach Out and Read program, a year-round effort to promote literacy by connecting children with books and reading during their time with the doctor.
Several clinic employees got into the act, and we had some excellent guest readers from the library. Click below to watch WSLS's coverage of the event.
