"Working as a hospitalist at EKRH is both challenging and stimulating. With diverse and complex medicine, I am constantly growing as a clinician and although challenged, I feel well supported by excellent specialist colleagues. With a smaller sized hospital, you have the opportunity to build relationships with your staff and peers. Since EKRH is situated in the Rocky Mountains, after work there are endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors creating a great work-life balance. From mountain biking and fishing in the summer, to skiing and skating in the winter, there is always something fun to do. Cranbrook is truly one of the best places to work, live and raise a family!" - Dr. Elena Schroeder, Hospitalist at East Kootenay Regional Hospital
