The John J. Pershing VA Medical Center, located in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, provides primary care to veterans throughout 29 counties of Southeast Missouri and Northeast Arkansas. Approximately 50,000 veterans live in our service area and about 40 percent of them receive care at our Medical Center annually.

We provide support to deployed military and their families by sending letters & cards, personal care items, snacks and local favorites to the deployed personnel and logistical, economic support and assistance to dependent families. We ship care packages all year and special packages upon request. Our family pantry currently is assisting 50+ families per week with food, clothing, baby necessities, and household goods. This support is also available to any PA veteran in financial crisis. All assistance is totally anonymous and we do not share any information with other agencies without specific permission.
