Top 25 Innovators - 2021

A longtime champion of telehealth services, Schriver joined Virginia-based Carilion in 2019. Carilion’s community health needs assessment the year before revealed an increased need for access in rural communities. Schriver quickly helped build out the system’s digital services, including Carilion Clinic Pediatrics’ first telemedicine visit between a patient who lived more than an hour away from her pulmonologist. She also oversaw expansion of telestroke technology for three rural hospitals within her first year. Under her leadership, Carilion won a $1 million federal grant to further expand teleneurology, virtual care centers in rural areas, and telehealth devices in primary-care and assisted-living centers.
