Sanford Health Provides Dollars for Scholars Membership Opportunity
  
Jamestown (September 22, 2025) –  Jamestown Dollars for Scholars is honored to be selected as the recipient of a complimentary membership through the Chamber Champion program, made possible by Sanford Healthcare’s generous investment in the Chamber’s highest tier of membership.

This contribution reflects Sanford's continued commitment to strengthening the local business and nonprofit community. Through their Chamber Champion status, Sanford was able to nominate a deserving nonprofit to receive this opportunity.

Jamestown Dollars for Scholars board president, DeAnn Ament expressed gratitude for the recognition, “This membership will open new doors for us to connect with community leaders, grow our network, and further our mission of supporting local students. We’re incredibly thankful to Sanford for believing in our work.”

Tina Schwartz, the Director of Sanford Clinic Jamestown/Edgeley shared, “Their dedication to investing in the future of our youth through scholarships aligns with our values at Sanford. We’re proud to support their mission and help amplify their impact through this Chamber membership.”
 
The Chamber introduced its tiered membership structure in 2023, allowing businesses to choose their level of investment and involvement. The Chamber Champion tier represents the highest level of engagement and dedication.

The Sanford Jamestown 2nd Avenue Clinic offers comprehensive services including family medicine, occupational medicine and surgery. It offers access to same-day appointments and 15 family medicine providers, three behavioral health providers, one occupational medicine provider and three surgery providers, all under one roof.
