\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (JRMC) \u00a0For the first time in history, the National Rural Health Assoc named JRMC one of the Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals in the country.<\/p>\n

NRHA determines Top 20 CAHs based on the results of the Hospital Strength Index and its eight indices of performance: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspectives, cost, charge, and financial stability. This elite group of hospitals was selected from The Chartis Center for Rural Health\u2019s 2020 Top 100 CAH list, which was released in February.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Medical Center has received the Top 100 designation every year since 2014.<\/p>\n

\"\"JRMC President & CEO Mike Delfs \u00a0says, \u201cThere\u2019s a reason we\u2019re a Top 20 Critical Access Hospital in the country, and that reason is our team of #DifferenceMakers. \u00a0Now, more than ever, they are demonstrating how they are THE difference in the lives of those we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

This award is an honor to receive, especially for independent hospitals like JRMC.<\/p>\n

Across the United States, more than 1,300 hospitals qualify as a Critical Access Hospital (CHA), a designation Congress created in 1997 to improve healthcare access in rural areas. JRMC has maintained its critical access designation since 2009.<\/p>\n

Delfs says, \u201cJRMC works to exceed industry standards, and one example of that is exceptional patient care.\u00a0 Not every rural hospital can offer specialty care like urology, orthopedics, podiatry, ear, nose & throat advanced wound care, and now cancer care, however, we do. We are committed to continuing to offer legendary care to this community.\u201d<\/p>\n
