We are proud to be an official partner of the Cribs for Kids® program! Our goal is to make sure every baby in our community has a safe place to sleep. Eligible families receive a full safe-sleep setup, including:
We can assist the public with car seat needs. State provided car seats can be distributed to the public according to North Dakota Health and Human Services and the North Dakota Department of Transportation guidelines. Call our office and speak with DeAnn so see if you qualify for a car seat or if you would like her to do a car seat check to make sure your current car seat is installed properly.
Nelson-Griggs District Health Unit is an approved Baby Safe Haven location. The Baby Safe Haven Law allows for a parent or parent’s agent (another person acting with the parent’s consent), who feel they are unable to take care of their baby, to surrender the baby without facing prosecution for abandonment. To be protected by the Baby Safe Haven Law, the baby must be unharmed, under one year of age, and surrendered to an on-duty staff person working for a Baby Safe Haven-approved location.
Nelson-Griggs District Health Unit’s Fast Fuel initiative aims to make it fast and easy for concession customers at school sporting events to select foods and beverages that provide the best “fuel” for athletes, families and fans.
Through our Maternal Child Health Grant we have been able to provide our communities, daycares and nursing homes with garden boxes so vegetables can be grown and enjoyed. We have loved seeing these spaces come to life, and we want you to enjoy the harvest! If it’s summer and the produce is ready, please stop by and pick some fresh veggies from the community garden boxes! We encourage any interested community members in Nelson or Griggs Counties to reach out about partnering with us in this project.
Garden boxes are currently located at:
