U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today announced more than $340,000 in federal funding to the North Dakota State Department of Health to help support child safety, health care, and nutrition efforts throughout the state. Specifically, the funds will be used for a range of child nutrition services, child passenger and newborn safety efforts, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) prevention, and to help support children who have special health care needs. With North Dakotas population growing quickly by the day, we have to make sure we are addressing all of our states health care challenges particularly for the youngest among us, said Heitkamp. These funds will help meet the needs of children across our state, enabling them to be healthy and safe as they learn and grow. We have a moral responsibility to protect and support our children and I will continue to back investments such as this to help make sure all of North Dakotas kids have an opportunity to thrive. The funds are made available by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) through the Health Resources and Services Administration. Last month, Heitkamp launched her newStrong and Safe Communities Initiativeto help address some of the emerging challenges facing the state by bringing a greater focus to keeping North Dakotas communities strong and families safe in their homes. Included in her efforts is a focus on making sure communities have access to quality health services. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
