Health department awarded $10,000 state grant to buy cribs and car seats for families after education
Summary
The Daviess County Health Department applied for and received board approval to accept a $10,000 reimbursable Indiana Department of Health grant to purchase cribs and car seats for distribution following education; no local match is required.
Kelly Strader, representing the Daviess County Health Department, told commissioners the state is offering a limited pool of money for programming related to fatal injuries and services for children 17 and younger. Health staff requested $10,000 to purchase cribs and car seats that would be distributed after completion of safe-sleep and car-seat education programs.
Strader described the grant as fully reimbursable and requiring no local match. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the grant application and acceptance by motion and second (3-0).
The health educator named in the presentation will manage distribution and related program reporting once the grant award is processed.
