February is Kids ENT Month, a time to raise awareness about ear, nose, and throat health in children. ENT issues in kids are often noticed through signs like frequent ear infections, trouble hearing, chronic sore throats, snoring, or breathing concerns. Early identification can make a big difference in comfort, development, and overall health.

At Crawford County Memorial Hospital, families have access to dedicated pediatric care through Dr. Libby Ranniger, along with visiting specialists in our Specialty Clinic who can help address ENT concerns when needed. If you have questions about your child’s ear, nose, or throat health, our team is here to help guide next steps. Call 712-265-2700 or visit us online at www.ccmhia.com to schedule an appointment.

Ear infections are common in kids — but repeated infections or trapped fluid can affect hearing, comfort, and development. For some children, ear tubes help keep ears healthy by improving airflow and preventing fluid buildup. During ENT Month, we’re sharing how small treatments can make a big difference for growing ears.

Crawford County Memorial Hospital

Crawford County Memorial Hospital is a 25-bed critical access hospital located in Denison, Iowa. Opened to the public in 1951, CCMH has undergone many transformations during the last six decades.

The "new" CCMH opened to the public in June 2011.
