In his spare time, you can find Christian doing just about anything outdoors: hunting, fishing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, hiking, and canoeing. He also enjoys time with his German Wirehaired Pointer, Coco.

Are you getting the rest you need? 😴

This week is Sleep Awareness Week—a great time to talk about something many people struggle with: sleep disorders.

If you're experiencing chronic fatigue, loud snoring, or waking up feeling unrested, a sleep study could provide answers.

The best part? You can complete your sleep study from the comfort of your own home—or at our EBCH Rehab Department.

💙 March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer—but here's the good news: it's also one of the most preventable.

At EBCH, we offer colonoscopy screenings right here in Ely. No long drive required. If you're 45 or older (or have a family history), it's time to talk to your provider.

Stay close to home. Stay ahead of cancer.
