Jamestown Regional Medical Center offers virtual and in-person learning opportunities throughout the year. Called JRMC Us, these events help individuals make informed choices about their health.
“We care about this community. If we can offer learning opportunities like this, people can find a home-based solution for their needs. If home remedies don’t work, individuals can at least know what treatment options are available,” said JRMC President & CEO Mike Delfs. “Missing work and life to see a doctor can be a challenge, so we want to remove as many barriers as we can.”
WHY IS EDUCATION IMPORTANT?
These learning opportunities are an important part of JRMC’s care delivery, Delfs said. Patient education offers individuals the proper ways to self-manage care and avoid how to avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital. With hope, This education can these classes allow individuals make better choices for their health.
