It's back! The Eureka Friday Night Market opens May 22nd, and if you've never been — this is your year.

Local food, local makers, local music, and a farmers’ market that's a great option if you work days or can't make it to the Saturday market in Arcata.

It’s the kind of evening that reminds you why you live here. 🌿

When the Wi-Fi works, nobody notices. When it doesn't, everybody does.

Our IT team lives in that thankless gap — keeping systems running, problems solved, and the rest of us blissfully unaware of how close to chaos we actually are.

Thank you for keeping the lights on (digitally speaking). 💻

End-of-school events and celebrations can come with a lot of expectations.

Most of the time, what people remember isn’t whether everything was perfect. It’s that they were there.

Letting good be enough can make space to actually enjoy an event.

Women are more likely than men to leave a medical appointment feeling unheard. You deserve better than that.

A few things that help:
🔹Write down your symptoms before you go
🔹Don't minimize what you're feeling
🔹Ask "what else could this be?"
🔹If something doesn't feel right, it's okay to ask again

You are the expert on your own body. A good provider will want to hear from you.

May means more outdoor time in Humboldt — and more reasons to protect your skin, even when it’s cloudy!

Wear SPF 30+, cover up the kids, seek shade during peak hours, and do a monthly self-check for new or changing moles.

If something looks off, don't wait — make an appointment with your primary care provider. Don’t have one? We’re accepting new patients.

May is Healthy Vision Month, and your eyes deserve a little attention. Regular eye exams can catch problems early — even if you see just fine and don't wear glasses.

A quick review with your primary care provider is a great place to start. Don’t have a primary care provider? We’re accepting new patients at our clinics.

Bone loss happens quietly, over years — but it doesn't have to catch you off guard. A bone density scan is a simple, painless way to know where you stand.

We offer bone density imaging right here in Arcata. Ask your medical provider to refer you to MRCH.
