Jamestown  (JRMC)  A $15,000 donation will support patient care at Jamestown Regional Medical Center.

The Otto Bremer Trust (OBT), one of Minnesota’s largest charitable organizations, created a $50 million emergency fund to provide financial support to Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Montana nonprofits and other community organizations. The new fund provides emergency funding, loans, lines of credit, and other financial resources to organizations impacted by and responding to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Locally, the JRMC Foundation is a recipient of this generosity.

Lisa Jackson, JRMC Foundation Director  says, “Throughout this pandemic, we’ve focused on applying for emergency funding through grants from area foundation.  These funds help offset costs related to COVID-19 response.”

Mike Delfs, JRMC President & CEO adds, “Though JRMC has not been a hot spot for the virus, the hospital prepared like one. JRMC mobilized its Incident Command team, created a surge plan and restricted visitors while implementing screening procedures.
