JRMClogoJamestown (CSi)  Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC)  is now recruiting community members to volunteer for the Patient and Family Advisory Council for Quality and Safety. The council and its goals are part of a much larger picture for nationwide improvement in our healthcare system through the Affordable Care Act and its federally-funded program called Partnership for Patients.

The new council at JRMC will focus on hospital care for patients and help create informed decisions about hospital programs in how they deliver care and provide services. The council will be comprised of patients, family members and/or friends of patients and community leaders, as well as healthcare professionals.

“Together, partnering with patients and their families, we hope to design or discover the best and safest care possible, and to acknowledge that when we fail to deliver on this goal, we are all responsible,” said Jenna Bredahl, JRMC Quality Manager.

Candidates for the council should enjoy working on a team, want to help JRMC put patients first, are committed to improving quality and patient safety, want to strengthen partnerships with patients and families and can volunteer a few hours of their time.
