He presented a thoughtful address who care. North Dakota leads the nation about the “Power of Community” that was in the fraction of physicians who are on especially appropriate in this time of the voluntary clinical faculty roster of a national political discord. Dr. Kirch local medical school—in our state, two out posited the notion that local of three of all physicians in the state are communities—of learners, donors, and faculty members. It would be impossible to people who care—have the power to train our students without their help and advance projects (like healthcare support—that’s for sure! workforce development for North Dakota) And the last vitally important that are too big and complicated for community in support of the SMHS is that individuals to accomplish, and are not the composed of donors.

The SMHS is one of 27 community- based medical schools in the United States, meaning that we don’t own or operate our own hospital or hospital system. Instead, we partner with all of the larger hospitals and many of the smaller hospitals and clinics in the communities throughout the state to educate our students. I like to say that we are a community-based medical— and health sciences—school, and our community is all of North Dakota.

    Date: March 7, 2011 To: Systems who have benefited from the Operator Reimbursement Program From: Eric Volk, Executive Director Re: Call to Action‐House Bill 1004‐ND Department of Health Budget Originally funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the North Dakota Water Operator Reimbursement Program provides funding for certification and training expenses for operators of small public drinking water systems. This was a one‐time grant, administered by the ND Department of Health. Unfortunately, this grant is coming to an end and will run out during the summer of 2011. The ND Department of Health (NDDOH) requested supplemental funding to be included in the Governor’s Budget to continue the Operator Reimbursement Program. This request also addressed small wastewater systems. These funds were not included in the Executive Budget. $200,000 for Drinking Water and $180,000 for Wastewater were requested. No additional Full‐ Time Equivalents would be required. Drinking water and wastewater operator certification and training is critical for the protection of public health and the maintenance of safe, optimal and reliable operations of water and wastewater facilities. It is crucial that funding is available to help operators become and remain certified without placing a financial hardship on the small system. House Bill 1004 (NDDOH Budget) is currently assigned to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The first hearing was March 3. On short notice, I was lucky enough to provide testimony in support of the Operator Reimbursement Program to the full committee. We were able to get our foot in the door, but we now need your help to open it fully.
