Becker’s Healthcare has named Jamestown Regional Medical Center leaders among its “CEOs and CNOs to Know” for 2024, recognizing their commitment to high-quality rural healthcare and service expansion.
JRMC President and CEO Mike Delfs was honored for his leadership in enhancing access to essential healthcare services in North Dakota’s rural communities. Under Delfs’ direction, JRMC has introduced advanced technologies and expanded specialty care services to reduce travel times for patients across the region. This acknowledgment highlights Delfs’ work in steering JRMC toward innovative, patient-centered care.
Trisha Jungels, JRMC’s chief nursing officer (CNO) and vice president of clinical services, was also named on Becker’s 2024 CNO list. Jungels oversees key clinical areas, including the emergency department, radiology, surgical services and JRMC’s Cancer Center. She played an instrumental role in creating the Nursing Clinical Excellence Ladder program, expanding OB-GYN, urology and ENT services and is helping JRMC pursue its Pathway to Excellence designation. Her leadership and contributions to nursing and patient care earned her the University of Jamestown’s “Nursing Excellence Award” in 2022.
“We are humbled and honored by the recognition Becker’s Healthcare has given to our team,” Delfs said. “This acknowledgement reflects our dedication to bringing top-quality, comprehensive care to our rural community.”
As a critical access hospital with a mission deeply rooted in community well-being, JRMC has transformed rural healthcare access in Stutsman County and surrounding regions. With each new specialty—from orthopedics and wound care to women’s health—JRMC continues to bring cutting-edge treatments closer to the people it serves. Guided by a vision for innovation and compassionate care, JRMC strives to remove barriers for rural patients, allowing them to receive exceptional healthcare without leaving their community.
