In a conference call Tuesday, Sen. Claire McCaskill announced she will be conducting a statewide listening tour of veterans and their healthcare facilities at the end of May.
McCaskill said she has ordered her staff to deploy around the state and look into Missouri's 24 healthcare facilities that treat veterans.
McCaskill said she wants to gather information on veterans experiences, wait times for appointments, travel times to locations and level of overall care.
The initial factfinding mission by McCaskill's office will begin immediately. Then, in May, she said she will tour the state, which she hopes encourages veterans "to come forward to tell their stories."
McCaskill will be in Springfield this Saturday. We're told she will meet privately with military families during her stay.
