Children ages 2 to 12 are most at risk of poisoning – especially from household cleaners and personal care products.

In 2025, the North Dakota Poison Help line received over 5,800 calls from state residents. Most calls were about medications and pills, including pain relievers, sedatives and antidepressants.

When the unexpected happens, North Dakotans can call the Poison Help Line at 800-222-1222 for advice. The poison help line is fast, free and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

North Dakotans are encouraged to add the poison help line (800-222-1222) to their phone contact list and to bookmark the ndpoison.org website.

👉We also have DisposeRx packets at our office which allows safe disposal of expired medication at home! Reminder that Service Drug and Gift in Harvey also is a medication take back location!

We offer free blood pressure checks - call ahead for availability!

One in three North Dakota adults has high blood pressure and many don't know it. What you eat matters. Eating less salt, more fruits and vegetables, and fewer processed foods can help bring it down. Check your blood pressure and talk to your health care provider. Learn more tips at www.cdc.gov/high-blood-pressure/prevention

Small steps. Healthier state.

Suffocation during sleep is a leading cause of death in infants under one year old.

To reduce this risk, always place your baby on their back to sleep in a safety-approved crib, free from loose bedding and soft objects.

Following these safe sleep practices can help protect your baby's life.

Need help securing a safe space for your baby to sleep? We can help! Give us a call!
