Happy Boss's Day to our incredible directors, managers and supervisors!

What most people don't see is that your work doesn't stop when you leave the building. You're the ones thinking through a tough situation on the drive home, answering the late call, and coming back the next day with a better idea. You're always looking for ways to improve JMC and the care we provide, and just as importantly, you take care of the people who provide it.

Our staff are supported because of you. Our patients and families feel the difference because of you. And I am grateful every day to work alongside leaders who care so much.

Thank you for all you do. 💙

Sincerely,
Jennifer Ryland

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀

Breast cancer awareness is about more than wearing pink. It is a reminder to know your risk, recognize changes in your body, talk with your healthcare provider, and stay up to date with recommended screenings.

Early detection can make an important difference.

This month, we encourage the women in our community to take time to prioritize their health and remind someone you love to do the same. 💗

Today, we remember a man whose impact on Jackson and rural healthcare will never be forgotten. After purchasing the hospital in 1980, he and his family devoted more than four decades to keeping healthcare here in our community, continuing that commitment until 2024.

Mr. Bill’s vision, dedication and commitment helped ensure healthcare remained available to the people of Jackson and the surrounding communities. We are grateful for the foundation he helped build and the lasting legacy he leaves behind.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time. Mr. Bill’s contributions to our community will long be remembered and deeply appreciated.
