Hoeven SenJamestown (CSi) – Senator John Hoeven Thursday joined local officials to mark Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s (JRMC) fifth anniversary in its modern facility. The senator is working in his role on the Appropriations Committee to support the work being done at JRMC and other hospitals like it, including an increase in the Labor, Health and Human Services appropriations bill to $152.6 million.

Hoeven said, “Hospitals like the Jamestown Regional Medical Center are essential to the wellbeing and quality of life in our rural communities. That is especially true of Critical Access Hospitals like JRMC, which serves nine counties and treats more than 9,000 patients a year, including those with serious illnesses or traumatic injuries. This cutting edge facility, which we celebrate today for five years of excellent service to its community, will enable JRMC to provide for the health care needs of the region for many more years to come.”
