The Jamestown Regional Medical Center story began with a bold vision. On March 7, 1927, Reverend Walter William August (W.W.A.) Keller, a Lutheran pastor, joined the first board of directors to form the Lutheran Charities Association. Together, they sold bonds and rallied the community to build a hospital that would bring exceptional care to Jamestown and the surrounding region. 

Nearly a century later, JRMC continues to stand strong—thanks to people like you. 

Including JRMC Foundation in your estate plans is one of the most impactful ways to carry this legacy forward. With one simple sentence, you can help ensure that future generations receive the same exceptional, independent, and local healthcare that our founders envisioned. 

Sample language for your will or trust:
