North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has appointed Mark Strand, professor in pharmacy practice and the Department of Public Health, to the North Dakota State Health Council.
The council serves as the Department of Health’s governing and advisory body. It also establishes standards, rules and regulations to maintain public health and it monitors the quality of health care in North Dakota.
“Your willingness to share your time and perspective is valuable as we advance the interests of our state. The council will benefit greatly from your diligent work as you help fulfill its mission and duties while also enhancing its capabilities,” said Burgum in his appointment letter.
The council's nine members are appointed for three-year terms. Four members are appointed from the health care provider community and five from the public sector. Strand's term on the council extends until July 31, 2024.
As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
