NDAD’s Client Services team is gathered at our main office this week for their annual meeting, sharing ideas and collaborating on ways to continue supporting North Dakotans facing health challenges.

One of our favorite pieces from the NDAD Park Inclusive Playground Grand Opening deserves another look! Visitors added hearts to our board showing how they can help others feel included. Nearly two months later, the message still matters: inclusion is something we all create.
