Humboldt's trails are some of the most beautiful in the world — and we want to keep you out there enjoying them. ⛰️

Before you head out:
• Tell someone your plan
• Bring more water than you think you need
• Pack a paper map (cell service is not guaranteed out here)

Know your limits. And if the trail wins, our ER is here 24/7.

If your vision has started to look cloudy, hazy, or like you're seeing through a foggy window — that might be a cataract. (Get your eyes checked to be sure.)

Cataracts are incredibly common. By age 80, most people have one. Cataracts are a normal part of aging, and you don't have to just live with them. 👁️

After a full spring, June often brings a shift — longer days, fewer obligations, a little more space in the schedule.

You don’t have to keep pushing at the same pace.

If you can, ease up where it makes sense — leave a little more time between things, take a slower start to the day, let some urgency go.

Health for the long run includes knowing when to back off.

Today we celebrate every cancer survivor in Humboldt County — your strength, your resilience, and your journey. 💛

And today we also hold space for the co-survivors: the partners, parents, siblings, children, and friends who sat in waiting rooms, drove to appointments, and carried their own quiet fear through every step. You showed up. That matters too.

Did you know you can get an EKG at Mad River Community Hospital as a walk-in? Just bring your provider's order and we'll take it from there — no appointment needed.

And remember - if your provider refers you for any outpatient test or procedure, you have the right to choose where you go. Choose close to home, fast, and easy.

In a busy month, it’s easy to feel like you’re just getting through things.

But showing up — to events, to conversations, to the people who matter — is part of what makes those moments meaningful.

You don’t have to do anything extra. Being there is enough.

High blood pressure often has no symptoms — which is exactly why it's called the "silent killer." Left unmanaged, it can quietly raise your risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage over time.

The good news? It’s easy to check, and very manageable with the right support. Our primary care clinics are here when you're ready.
