Local health departments left scrambling after abrupt federal budget cuts
When federal dollars disappear overnight, local services feel it fast. That’s what Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health is facing after a nearly $200,000 funding cut took effect with just a day’s notice. Programs already in motion—like free COVID-19 tests and national health research—are now on hold. Plans for a Community Triage Center, aimed at helping people in crisis, are slowing too. The need hasn’t gone away, but the support has—and now local leaders are left scrambling to fill the gap.
