Jamestown Regional Medical Center Foundation has launched a new capital fundraising campaign to support three vital projects aimed at improving patient care. The projects, which include upgrades to neonatal care equipment and emergency room security, are part of JRMC’s continued effort to provide exceptional healthcare services to the community.
“These projects are essential to maintaining the high standard of care that our patients and their families expect,” said JRMC President and CEO Mike Delfs. “We are deeply grateful to the community for its ongoing support, which allows us to offer legendary care to those who need it most.”
The campaign seeks to raise funds for the following projects:
Pediatric Protection System – $150,000
The Hugs® and Kisses® infant protection system is a critical safety feature in JRMC’s Family BirthPlace. This advanced system pairs a Hugs tag worn by newborns with a Kisses tag worn by their mothers, ensuring that babies are always correctly matched with their parents and alerting staff if an infant is moved outside of a secure area.
“The safety of our newborns is our top priority,” said Emily Woodley, Family BirthPlace manager. “This technology adds an important layer of protection from the moment a baby is born. We appreciate the community’s support in helping us provide this essential care.”
Infant Warmer – $25,000
The Panda™ Warmer is a key piece of equipment used in JRMC’s labor and delivery suites to keep newborns warm immediately after birth. It also offers integrated oxygen monitoring, resuscitation assistance and a built-in scale, all of which are critical to providing life-saving care when needed.
ER Entrance Remodel – $46,000
JRMC plans to remodel the entrance to its emergency department to enhance security and improve the safety of both patients and staff. The renovation will create a more secure admissions area, allowing medical teams to focus on delivering critical care during emergencies.
“These improvements to our ER will ensure a safer environment for everyone involved in emergency situations,” said Sheila Krapp, JRMC Emergency Department manager.
The JRMC Foundation invites community members, local businesses and charitable organizations to support these essential projects. Each contribution, no matter the amount, will help JRMC uphold its commitment to delivering exceptional care for generations to come.
