JAMESTOWN, N.D. (JRMC) – Jamestown Regional Medical Center is proud to announce that specialized orthopedics care is returning to Valley City.

JRMC Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Timothy Volk will again see patients at CHI Mercy Health beginning this month. CHI Mercy Health and JRMC partnered to offer this care originally in 2019. The organizations suspended these appointments as part of the COVID-19 pandemic precautions.

“I look forward to seeing patients in Valley City again,” Dr. Volk said. “When they are ready for us, we are ready for them.”
The JRMC Orthopedic Clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. The specialty includes procedures such as total joint replacements of the hip, knee and shoulder, knee arthroscopy and fracture repair.

While the highest-quality care close to home will remain the same, JRMC and CHI have adjusted some processes for safety.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Patients’ health and safety is the highest priority, Dr. Volk said. As such, patients can expect a few changes when arriving for their appointments.
