Smith Mountain Lake’s healthcare landscape is growing in exciting, meaningful ways. From new pediatric and primary care practices to expanded senior services, in-home support, and wellness treatments, families and residents now have more options than ever for high-quality care close to home.
Big News for Small Patients: Carilion Children’s Pediatric Medicine – Rocky Mount
Families at Smith Mountain Lake now have a welcome new option for children’s healthcare. Carilion Children’s Pediatric Medicine – Rocky Mount has opened its doors, expanding access to both general and specialty pediatric services just a short drive from the lake.
The bright, kid-friendly facility features separate waiting areas for well and sick visits. It also has eight exam rooms, and a design tailored to make young patients feel comfortable and cared for.
In addition to everyday pediatric care, the practice will offer rotating specialty clinics in cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology and pulmonology.
A New Neighbor in Care: Eastlake Primary Care
Another new option for hometown healthcare has arrived at Smith Mountain Lake. Eastlake Primary Care in Moneta offers comprehensive medical services for patients of all ages, from routine checkups and physicals to lab testing, minor procedures and wellness visits.
Founded by Holly Roy, PA-C, the practice provides a welcoming environment focused on long-term relationships and personalized care.
Eastlake is currently accepting walk-ins as it builds its patient base and offers both traditional and direct primary care options. Most major insurance plans are accepted, with reasonable cash-pay rates available.
Expanding Options for Seniors: SML Health & Rehab
Construction is underway on a new 90-bed skilled nursing facility on Scruggs Road near Westlake Corner. Smith Mountain Lake Health and Rehab Center, part of the Saber Healthcare Group network, will span more than 45,000 square feet. It is expected to open in late 2026 or early 2027.
The facility will provide both short- and long-term skilled nursing services, including 24-hour care, post-surgical recovery and wound management. Based in Ohio, Saber operates more than 140 nursing homes across six states.
Currently, the primary local option for similar services is Runk & Pratt at Smith Mountain Lake, an established retirement community offering independent and assisted living, memory care and therapy services.

Rest Easy, Smile Bright: Mountain View Orthodontics & Dental Sleep Center
Smith Mountain Lake residents have a new reason to smile—and sleep better—with the expansion of Mountain View Orthodontics and Dental Sleep Center, which recently opened a new location at Westlake Corner. The practice’s original office is in Vinton, giving patients two convenient options for care.
Led by Dr. Bana Hosseinian, the practice offers advanced orthodontic care for children, teens and adults, including braces and Invisalign clear aligners, as well as specialized treatment for sleep apnea through custom-fitted dental appliances. Patients benefit from modern technology, personalized treatment plans and a welcoming atmosphere designed to make every visit comfortable and stress-free.
Whether improving your smile or your quality of sleep, Mountain View combines expertise, innovation and compassion close to home.

Access to quality in-home care continues to expand at SML, giving residents more ways to age safely and comfortably in place. BrightStar Care, which recently extended services from its Lynchburg and Roanoke branches, now offers a full range of personalized, in-home support for lake-area clients—from companion care and personal assistance to skilled nursing and medication management.
They join a number of established providers serving the region, including Companion Home Care, TLC Home Assist, Thriving Well at Home, Karis Care Services, A Nurse’s Touch Home Care and Visiting Angels, all of which help residents maintain independence while receiving compassionate care in familiar surroundings.
Refresh and Recharge: Nourished IV Drip Bar & Wellness Clinic
Nourished IV Drip Bar & Wellness Clinic opened its doors at Westlake Corner this year, offering IV hydration, vitamin infusions and other wellness treatments designed to boost energy, recovery and overall health. Services range from immune support and anti-aging blends to customized vitamin drips and light-therapy sessions, all administered by medical professionals in a spa-like setting.
They join VitaZen, a long-established health and wellness retailer also based at Westlake Corner, which offers supplements, vitamins, essential oils, and natural products for hair, skin and healthy aging, and Essential Nutrition and Wellness, which specializes in anti-inflammatory solutions, healthy weight management, food sensitivities and behavioral and sensory issues for youth.
Together, these businesses reflect a growing trend toward proactive, wellness-based medicine, giving lake-area residents and visitors more ways to feel their best.
