To those lighting the menorah, sharing meals, or exchanging gifts under the tree, may your celebrations be filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

To all the providers in the Wyoming-Erie and Big Lakes regions working on the holidays, we wish everyone a safe and peaceful shift.

An important message from Catholic Health:

On Thursday 12/26/2024 MHOB ED will be undergoing repairs in the hallway leading to the front EMS triage area.  Please advise your crews that on Thursday 12/26/2024 they will not be able to proceed to the front triage area as they are used to so we are asking that they enter the back ER doors, near the EMS room, with all patients until the hallway has been reopened.

Please see attached diagram for further explanation.
