First District Health Unit

Congratulations to Zach Bruns, our Emergency Preparedness and Response Regional Coordinator, on receiving the Spirit of Public Health Award at the North Dakota Public Health Association Conference in May! 🎉

Zach was recognized for his exceptional leadership and outstanding dedication to strengthening public health emergency readiness across our region.

From coordinating preparedness efforts and training opportunities to helping communities plan for and respond to emergencies, Zach's work plays an important role in keeping our region ready for whatever comes our way.

Please join us in congratulating Zach on this well-deserved recognition! 👏

The Minot Area Youth V**e Task Force stopped by our Mini Health Fair and got a chance to explore the inflatable Rollin' Colon!

Thanks for joining us and taking part in this fun educational experience. 👏

So many fun summer events are coming up, including Yoga in the Park! If that event doesn't fit your schedule, you can still explore the benefits of yoga from home through our CredibleMind platform, which offers videos, guided exercises, and resources for all experience levels.

☀️ It’s a busy weekend with Minot Parks!

Join us as we kick off summer with the opening of Roosevelt Park Pool, the free Scheels Kickoff to Summer event, Yoga in the Park, and the Tennis Block Party at Hammond Park.

Whether you're looking to cool off, enjoy free family activities and food, get active, or simply spend time outdoors, there’s something for everyone this weekend!

Our Environmental Health staff are polishing up presentations and getting ready for the Aquatic Venue Seminar on Thursday! Every two years, we host a day-long seminar for local pool operators to refresh their knowledge and prepare for swimming season.

Operating a safe aquatic venue requires careful attention to swimmer safety, water quality, routine maintenance, and the prevention of physical and chemical hazards. We appreciate the local operators who take the time to stay up to date on best practices and help keep our community pools safe and enjoyable for everyone!
