Veterans Issues
VA Intake Day
Our veterans deserve the highest level of care which they have earned through their valor and military service.
In light of the disturbing reports about the quality of VA healthcare our veterans are receiving, my office is hosting a VA Intake Day to hear firsthand from local veterans and their families. Unless specific problems are brought to light, we may not find all areas requiring corrective action. If you or someone you know would like to share personal experiences regarding wait times, quality of care and services received by the VA St. Louis Health Care System, please stop by the 2nd Congressional District office and meet with my staff.

Our country has been involved in many overseas conflicts in the past several years, and our troops have done so much to preserve our liberty and way of life. In return, we must ensure that our veterans and their families are taken care of as they return home, which includes providing proper health care, support for their family, post-service education, and job placement opportunities after their service. Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District is home to more than 75,000 veterans and their families, and I will ensure that they receive the proper care and support in a timely manner that they have more than earned.
