Jones Memorial receives 4-star rating for second year in row WELLSVILLE — Jones Memorial Hospital has once again achieved a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency that provides health coverage to more than 160 million Americans though Medicare, Medicaid and the Health Insurance Marketplace. The hospital achieved this designation in 2024 and has maintained the classification for 2025. Jim Helms, president and CEO at JMH, stated, “Receiving a 4-star rating from CMS for the second year in a row is a proud moment for our
services to our region — so our patients and families don’t have to travel far to receive the care they deserve.” Among 132 New York hospitals that received a rating, the average grade was 2.5 out of 5 stars, which was 48th out of the 50 states. That marked a slight improvement from last year, when New York ranked 49th with an average score of 2.4 stars. Some of the metrics contributing to the high marks for Jones included communication with nurses and medical staff
entire hospital family and the community we serve. This recognition reflects the heart of who we are and the values we live by every day — Wellness, Empathy, Commitment, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence (WECARE). “As a rural hospital, we are deeply rooted in this community, and every step we take is guided by our mission to provide compassionate, high-quality care close to home,” Helms added. “While we celebrate this milestone, we know our work is never done. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to bringing advanced healthcare

Saturday’s Taste of Wellsville has new location and new sponsorship events held by Rotary Clubs and the local club is also trying to rebuild after COVID. “We’ve been in Wellsville for 104 years and we’re the oldest Rotary Club in the county,” Miller said. “We’re rebuilding and trying to attract new members. COVID hit us very hard. We’re looking to update our events and do something that will attract a wider variety of people. “We’re hoping the Taste of Wellsville will become our signature event,” he added. “It offers events for both kids and adults, and everyone likes food.” However, Miller went on to explain that the TOW is not a fund-

WELLSVILLE — Ever seen a food vendor or food truck parked somewhere but just didn’t have the time to visit it? Well, you’ll have the time this weekend when the annual Taste of Wellsville brings more than 20 food vendors to Island Park 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday. It’s still a few weeks until the end of summer, and the Rotary Club is whetting everyone’s appetite for summer foods and year-long treats as it sponsors the annual Taste of Wellsville for the first time. The event has been organized in the past by the Wellsville Develop-

As for the change in venue, Miller explained that to include all the local food establishments the event would stretch from Rauber Street to State Street, and that’s just too large an area. “The park is the ideal place to keep it confined and easy to get around and visit all the vendors,” he said. The group is also making it easier to visit each food booth with vendors offering the sale of food samples costing $5 or less along with their other menu items.
