\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (JRMC) \u2014 For the first time since the opening, golfers will take to the course in support of those battling cancer.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Medical Center\u2019s annual Golf \u201cFORE\u201d Good tournament is set for Friday, July 19. All proceeds benefit the JRMC Cancer Center.<\/p>\n

JRMC Foundation director Lisa Jackson, says, \u201cThis year is an especially exciting year. Now that the JRMC Cancer Center is open, we feel energized. We appreciate the community\u2019s support as we continue to raise funds to sustain this service.\u201d<\/p>\n

The JRMC Cancer Center opened in June 2019. The center offers chemotherapy and other infusions in its six sun-lit and spacious infusion bays. The space also includes exam rooms, a consultation area and space for nurses and staff. The community raised $1.7 million of the $1.9 million needed to build the space.<\/p>\n

Now that it is open, the JRMC Cancer Center will provide chemotherapy infusions for more than 100 residents of Jamestown and the surrounding communities. Currently, those people travel more than 100 miles for that care. This will eliminate more than 160,000 miles of travel per year.<\/p>\n

The title Golf \u201cFORE\u201d Good sponsor is the JRMC Auxiliary.<\/p>\n

The JRMC Auxiliary title sponsored the event for the second time this year. The 40 or so members support JRMC through organizing fundraisers and supporting the JRMC Gift Shoppe.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is so in favor of getting the JRMC Cancer Center here so people don\u2019t have to drive,\u201d said Eunice Sahr, JRMC Auxiliary president.<\/p>\n

The Auxiliary meets monthly and is always seeking new members.<\/p>\n

With the help of the Auxiliary and other community sponsors, last year\u2019s Golf \u201cFORE\u201d Good netted about $30,000.<\/p>\n
