Rosebud County approved a memorandum of understanding with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services to participate with Bighorn County in fetal, infant, child and maternal mortality reviews.
During discussion, the Chair described the agreement as a public-health collaboration that would help counties "keep track of infant deaths within the counties" and noted it would help cover cases on the reservation and address past difficulties obtaining information. The Chair said the arrangement — described in the transcript as "Figma" — is intended to support joint review of cases between Bighorn and Rosebud Counties to improve public-health tracking and response.
The MOU was moved and approved on the consent agenda by voice vote. The transcript does not include roll-call vote details or the text of the MOU beyond its stated purpose to support mortality review activities and data-sharing between counties and the state health department.
