Jamestown (CSi-JRMC) \u2014 Known for their volunteer work with service clubs, disaster relief, business development, education and healthcare, Dave and Claudette Smette are passionate about making the community, and the world, a better place.<\/p>\n
Jamestown Regional Medical Center Foundation named the Jamestown couple its Philanthropists of the Year for 2017. JRMC presented the award to the couple at its Pillars of Giving event on Sept. 12.<\/p>\n

JRMC Foundation Director Lisa Jackson says, \u201cDave and Claudette are role models for the community.\u00a0 We all should aspire to give back the way they do.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the help of supporters like Dave and Claudette, JRMC constructed its new building in 2011. That dedication helps grow the future of care for the community.<\/p>\n
Jackson adds, \u201cIt\u2019s because of people like Dave and Claudette that JRMC can offer the services it does. Rural healthcare is possible because of the generocity of community members like them.\u201d<\/p>\n
