“RST Maternal and Child Health” is a tribal government program located in Mission, South Dakota serving women with high risk pregnancies referred to them by the medical community or other health program. Clients are followed by visiting nurses throughout their pregnancy and after delivery receiving health and well being checks for both them and their babies, education and referral to other programs and resources as needed. Home visits begin two weeks after delivery and continue on a regular basis until the baby’s second birthday when they are turned over to other programs. The program serves about 30 clients a year, more information about the program can be found here.
How We Help
Nurses for RST have requested baby clothing and other items so they can provide a layette and filled diaper bag for new mothers when they leave the hospital. They continue to supply clothing, toiletries, diapers and other needs to growing babies and mothers during home visits. Our Partner Groups mainly provide items that can be made or crafted such as clothing, toys, and blankets.
Lakota Friends Circle purchases toiletries and diapers in bulk for the RST program from your donations. Please help us help this vital program of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe by making a one time or recurring donation here noting “RST Program” in the comments.
