Jamestown (JRMC) — The chief executive officer at Jamestown Regional Medical Center says that it’s with very mixed feelings that he leaves JRMC for a new opportunity.
President & CEO K.C. DeBoer joined JRMC in 2014.
Since then, both Modern Healthcare and Becker’s Healthcare Review have named JRMC a Best Place to Work in healthcare. Under DeBoer’s leadership, JRMC also expanded the specialties it offers.

The hospital is also working to break ground on the JRMC Cancer Center – the only one of its kind for 100 miles.
JRMC Operations Board chairperson, Joanne Ottmar says, “K.C. is competent, organized, empathetic, caring, committed, innovative and approachable. K.C. led our organization through difficult times in healthcare. We are very sorry to lose him; however, we’re grateful for his service and wish him and his family all the best in this next endeavor. ”
DeBoer begins his role as CEO for Prairie Lakes Healthcare System in Watertown, S.D., in August.
DeBoer says, “This is the right choice for me professionally and personally. Living in Watertown brings me closer to both my family and my wife’s family in South Dakota while joining the team at another excellent independent hospital. JRMC is an amazing place with a culture that will carry on, making it the best rural hospital in the country. We will miss Jamestown and I will miss the wonderful staff, physicians and board members I have been privileged to work with at JRMC.”
DeBoer said he will work with the board to ensure a smooth transition.
Ms. Ottmar adds, the board has initiated a national search to find a replacement.In the meantime, it will soon name an interim CEO to lead the organization until a new CEO is in place.

State lottery director Randy Miller says the ticket was drawn Monday night. The player with the winning ticket has the option of receiving $25,000 for 20 years or a lump sum cash payment of $350,000.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Oil and Gas Division officials say a tank that overflowed caused a spill of more than 19,000 gallons of brine and more than 3,000 gallons of oil in Renville County.
Division officials say Berenergy Corp. reported Monday that the spill occurred Saturday about 2 miles east of Glenburn. The company says the spill was contained within the diking that was done on site and has been recovered.
Officials say a state inspector will be on site this week.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man convicted of drugging a teenager and sexually assaulting her for several months has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors say 38-year-old George Robert Lyons gave sleeping pills to a teenage girl once a week under the guise of needing to clean her ears from July 2009 and January 2010. The girl told Grand Forks District Judge John Thelen during a sentencing hearing Monday that all her relationships have been damaged and she is afraid Lyons will retaliate when he’s released from prison.
WDAY-TV reports that Lyons’ attorney is expected to appeal his conviction. Lyons planned on speaking during Monday’s hearing but became emotional and said he was “at a loss for words.”
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota military veterans toured a new veterans’ affairs clinic in a northwest city.
The Williston VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic opened this week. The facility is twice the size of the old one at 7,500 square feet (697 square meters), the Williston Herald reported.
“It’s so cool,” said Jill Wiedrich, a nurse at the clinic. “We have so much more space here.”
Wiedrich took groups of 10 veterans at a time to see the new space Monday. The tours featured a new blood drawing room, tele-retinal and tele-health rooms, new patient exam rooms and a room dedicated to women’s health.
“It’s a very good space,” said Corey Moen, adjutant for Williston’s Disabled American Veterans chapter. “There’s a lot more services they can provide right there. It’s going to cut down on the travel to Fargo. … This was definitely needed.”
The clinic will also have a full-time medical doctor on staff. Dr. David Keene said he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to help veterans, especially given that his veteran father was the driving force in his decision to pursue medicine.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS-OHIO STATE-TEAM DOCTOR
FREMONT, Ohio (AP) — U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan says he never knew of sexual abuse by a now-dead doctor who examined wrestlers Jordan helped coach decades ago at Ohio State University.
Jordan repeatedly denied claims by ex-wrestlers Mike DiSabato and Dunyasha Yetts, who say the powerful Republican congressman from Ohio knew back then that Richard Strauss was groping male athletes.
Jordan acknowledged that Strauss was among faculty members and other employees who used the same open shower area as athletes in the building where they practiced, but he said he and other coaches with whom he has spoken weren’t aware of any abuse by Strauss.
