Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II, has introduced the Patient Centered Quality Care for Life Act to help those with chronic and serious illness in Missouri’s Fifth District, and around the country, get better, clearer and more comprehensive health care. This legislation focuses on making sure palliative care is available to patients and families facing serious or life threatening illness. It also provides assistance for creating excellence in workforce training for those caring for patients, public education and advocacy, and research.

"I am very pleased the USDA has listened to our request for help, and has designated all counties in Missouri's Fifth District as disaster areas," said Congressman Cleaver. U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Vilsack has designated all 114 counties as primary natural disaster areas. The USDA's new designation includes the new areas of Ray, Saline and Lafayette Counties.
