USPS: No comment on allegations of North Dakota mail dumped

We reached out to regional USPS officials, who initially said they would look into it before directing us the the U.S. Postal Service Office of the Inspector General (OIG).

Daniel P. Cozzi, the Assistant Special Agent in Charge and Public Information Officer at the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General Central Area Field Office, would neither confirm not deny the allegations.

Delegates to the state convention are elected at their legislative district conventions.

If a district does not fill its slate, it may allow the district chair to appoint the remaining delegates.

Together, we are not just defending democracy – we are building a future worthy of the next generation.”

JRMC recognized as top recommended hospital in North Dakota

JAMESTOWN — Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of North Dakota’s top recommended hospitals, an honor shared only by the Fargo VA Medical Center. This recognition is based on patients’ responses to the question: “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?”

Inclusion on the top recommended hospitals list reflects a five-star rating for patient recommendations. Ratings are determined through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“This recognition by Becker’s reflects our continued focus on exceptional patient care, clear communication and strong partnerships between patients and care teams,” said Trisha Jungels, JRMC chief nursing officer. “At JRMC, trust is built through listening, compassion and clinical excellence, and this honor reflects the dedication of our teams every day.”

JRMC’s inclusion on this list, along with other recent national awards and recognitions — such as its Pathways of Excellence designation and multiple top critical access hospital recognitions — further distinguish the medical center as a regional and statewide leader in care.
