WASHINGTON  -  U.S. Representative Jo Ann Emerson (MO-08) tomorrow will attend a
luncheon for the Missouri AHEC (Area Health Education Centers) at the Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center.  The lunch with officials and physicians will begin at noon and last until 1:30 p.m.

 

“Area Health Education Centers provide a critical means of fighting for better health care
opportunities in rural areas.  Our physicians, nurses and medical technicians work extremely hard to keep the standard of care high, and I work extremely hard in Congress to be certain that government policies account for the difficulties in meeting the challenges of rural health care.  In the end, we are fortunate to have dedicated individuals working in our communities.  It is important to recognize the contribution they make to our quality of life,” Emerson said.
