DrDonCaineJamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) Foundation thanked its supporters on Thursday, September 4, 2014, at its 16th Annual Pillars of Giving event. The event featured presentations from K.C. DeBoer, JRMC Chief Executive Officer, Lisa Jackson, JRMC Foundation Director and Kim Wagner, keynote speaker.

This past year, 962 donors provided funding which made the difference in over 25 areas of patient care at JRMC. Support directly helps patients and their families when they need us most. For some, that is as simple as a warm blanket and caring touch. For another, it may be ensuring we have the equipment to detect cancer at the earliest state possible.

JRMC Foundation Director, Lisa Jackson said, “We thank the community for being THE difference in the lives of those we serve.”

The Philanthropist of the Year was also announced. The Philanthropist of the Year is an honor bestowed to those with exemplary civic engagement, commitment to healthcare and service as well as support of JRMC. This year the Philanthropist of the Year award was presented to Dr. Don and Sharon Caine.

After 18 years on the Jamestown Hospital Board of Directors and 23 years as a board member for the JRMC Foundation, Dr. Don Caine and his wife Sharon have developed a certain fondness for JRMC. “I’ve come to love JRMC,” said the retired optometrist. “I was extremely involved in all aspects of the hospital as a member of its operating board over the years.”
