Ely-Bloomenson Nursing Home Becomes Boundary Waters Care Center

HDG has formally assumed operations for Ely-Bloomenson Nursing Home in Ely, Minn. Previously managed by Ely-Bloomenson Community Hospital (EBCH), the 58-bed skilled nursing facility has transitioned to be a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation and has been renamed Boundary Waters Care Center (BWCC).
