Updated at April 05, 2010 11:05The Senate Committee Hearing will be Tuesday, March 30 at Noon in Jefferson City. This is a much needed opportunity to share stories about insurance, availability of treatment, finanical stress, and the realities of eating disorders. It is critical that we all continue to educate our Missouri legislators on this disease and educating this committee is the first and very important step.
The bill will be heard in the Senate Committee for Small Business, Insurance and Industry. Please write to the committee members and let them know why this bill matters to you. It is very important they hear from you, personal letters are best. Lynn Stark, A.P.R.N., M.S.N. will be in Jefferson City for this hearing and will be speaking to our representatives on our behalf.
