Dr. Carol C. Cox (R) accepts grant award from Phyllis Krambeck (L), member of the Vivian J. Roller Family Endowment - - 2/28/2008.

In accepting the grant, Dr. Cox stated Missouri has been categorized as one of the ‘Dirty Dozen’ U.S. states with the poorest performing nursing homes. According to Consumer’s Union, state agencies responsible for oversight often fail to correct problems.
Therefore, Eta Sigma Gamma researchers will conduct a study to examine what factors possibly affect lower quality care in Missouri long-term care facilities.
