A heart-breaking consequence of the opioid crisis: Addicted babies
As Minnesota's opioid crisis continues to grow, so does the number of babies born addicted to the drugs their mothers abused during pregnancy.
Three guests joined the program to talk about what happens to these babies who are born addicted to opioids:
• Jean Donnell, a family and children services case manager at Red Lake.
• Kami Kelm, First Step to Healthy Babies case manager and social worker with Beltrami County Health & Human Services.
• Alyssa Bruning, registered nurse at the Sanford Health in Bemidji.
