Last week, NDHA met with Jeff Kahrs, Regional Director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Region 7, to talk about federal policies impacting North Dakota hospitals, including 340B, immigration, workforce challenges, and the Rural Health Transformation Program.

National Hospital Week is here, May 10–16, 2026, and we’re proud to celebrate the impact of the hospitals across our state! 🎉

Our caregivers have faced unimaginable challenges and risen to the occasion repeatedly, showing resilience and compassion in every moment of care. From rural communities to larger health systems, ND hospitals are where healing happens, and communities grow stronger every day. We think it is essential that others see the impact hospitals have made on communities, and this week is a chance to recognize and celebrate that work.

Thank you to every hospital team member across North Dakota!
