Jamestown Regional Medical Center Earns Three Women's Choice Awards for Obstetrics, ER

Jamestown Regional Medical Center announced March 2, 2026 that it received three Women’s Choice Awards for 2026 — in Obstetrics, Emergency Care and ER Wait Time & Efficiency — recognition the hospital says reflects patient satisfaction and clinical excellence. The news was posted on JRMC’s website and repeated in local coverage the same day.

JRMC said its obstetrics program earned its third consecutive Women’s Choice Award and ranked in the top 9% of facilities nationally for obstetrics, a placement KSJBAM noted was tied to low rates of early elective deliveries and high patient recommendation scores from new mothers. KSJBAM also reported that JRMC achieved a Top 1% ranking in Emergency Care, a designation the outlet tied to measures of total time patients spend in the ER and the percentage of patients who leave without being seen.

The Women’s Choice Awards are described by JRMC as being based on a combination of patient satisfaction surveys, clinical excellence measures and women’s health care preferences. Hospital leaders framed the honors as validation for local access to maternal and urgent care in Jamestown and Stutsman County during an announcement posted March 2, 2026.

“These Women’s Choice Awards reflect the dedication, compassion and teamwork our obstetrics and emergency teams demonstrate every day,” said Trisha Jungels, JRMC chief nursing officer. “For our community, this recognition provides reassurance that exceptional, patient-centered care is available close to home when it matters most.”

Allison Timmerman, JRMC Emergency Department Clinical Leader, emphasized the emergency team’s front-line role in acute care when she said the awards “say everything about the dedication, compassion and professionalism that our emergency department team brings to every patient encounter. In an emergency setting, patients and loved ones are going through some of their scariest moments — this recognition confirms our commitment to those we serve.”

Local public health implications include continued emphasis on reducing early elective deliveries and maintaining low ER wait times to limit patients leaving without being seen, metrics cited by KSJBAM and echoed in JRMC’s news item. JRMC’s news page lists related services such as Emergency and Family BirthPlace, and the hospital provided a phone contact for inquiries at (701) 952-1050.
