‘What they’re doing is beautiful’: Roanoke Hospitality House asks for holiday donations for families in need The Roanoke Hospitality House will be a place where patients and their families can stay Tags: It’s been a scary couple of months for Robin Pack and her family. Her dad, Jimmy Worles, went in for open-heart surgery at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital on October 19. “What was supposed to be a five-day stay, we’re still here,” said Pack. “A healthy man walked in and now he’s fighting for his life.” After surgery, Worles kept bleeding. He had to go back in for surgery and his health took a turn for the worse. His kidneys stopped working properly, his lungs got infected and doctors had to perform a tracheotomy.
