It's "Meet the Staff" Monday!
Jacobson Memorial Hospital Care Center CFO Scott Ostenson has returned to the financial helm of the hospital after a four-year hiatus. Scott initially moved to Elgin after accepting the CFO position at JMHCC in 2013, working at the hospital for nine years before pursuing another position. After his first stint with JMHCC, he accepted a role as a senior accountant, then as a controller, with a hospital in Montana, working from Elgin in the home-based position. But his connection with the community lessened with the position, he says, prompting him to want to return to JMHCC.
“The hospital held a special place in my heart and when I heard they were looking for somebody, it was something that I wanted to come back to,” he says “Working from home, I felt I was losing touch with the community involvement.”
And Scott connects with the JMHCC workplace atmosphere, too.
“I like the hometown feel. It feels more community driven, which I like. I feel it’s important that we’re here and that we stay here. I think people want what’s best for the hospital and I like that,” he says.
Scott has a 16-year-old son who is a junior at Grant County High School.
We are glad he's back!

As you get to know the great staff at Jacobson Memorial Hospital Care Center, meet Mandi Fuchs, an LPN at JMHCC. Mandi was born and raised in Flasher, leaving for college before returning to rural life to raise her family with her husband.
Mandi received her associate degree in applied science from North Dakota State College of Science in May 2009 and her LPN license in June 2009.
Mandi’s first nursing job was at CHI St. Alexius Health on the medical/oncology unit. Since then, she’s gained experience in a variety of nursing positions.
The best part of her job is taking care of other people’s family members with dignity and respect, she says. She enjoys working with the residents to make them feel comfortable and loved.
Mandi is as busy at home as she is at work, as her home life is filled with her kids’ activities, including football, basketball, track, FFA and 4-H. Mandi also enjoys gardening and yard work, reading, spending time with her two cats and two dogs and she has recently taken up baking more. In her words, all the granny hobbies! Mandi and her husband also own a catering business, D&T Catering, based out of Flasher.
Her favorite nursing task is wound care, especially as she taking a course to become certified in wound care.
