Missouri HB 262 Heads to the Governor’s Desk — A Historic Step Toward Healing

---

After months of tireless advocacy, collaboration, and overwhelming bipartisan support, we are proud to announce that Missouri House Bill 262 (HB 262) has officially made it to the Governor’s desk, pending signature.

If signed into law, HB 262 will create the “Veterans’ Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment and Recovery Act,” funding access to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) — wounds that are often invisible, but no less life-threatening.

This bill represents hope.
Hope for healing.
Hope for families who’ve been searching for answers.
Hope for Veterans who’ve exhausted every traditional option and are still struggling.

Again, Why This Matters
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy isn’t just another treatment — it’s a scientifically proven way to heal the brain at the root, not just manage symptoms.

Veterans who receive HBOT under peer-reviewed neurological protocols have shown:

• Dramatic reduction in PTSD and TBI symptoms
• Increased cognitive function and sleep
• Lower dependence on pharmaceuticals
• Significant decreases in suicidal ideation — and in many cases, full remission

This is why HBOT is often described as a catalyst for recovery — and why state legislation like HB 262 is so critical.

The Fight Isn't Over
While this milestone deserves celebration, the work is far from done. We must ensure:

• Governor Parson signs HB 262 into law
• Other states follow Missouri’s lead
• Veterans across the country have access to HBOT — regardless of zip code, income, or status

Help Our Heroes will continue connecting Veterans to "no-cost" HBOT treatment through our partners, and our recently launched HBOT Campaign is raising critical funds to support these efforts while we wait for long-term legislation to catch up.

Our Final Thoughts
The path to healing invisible wounds isn’t easy — but it’s possible.
HB 262 is more than a bill. It’s a promise. A signal to every Veteran that their service, their life, and their recovery matter.
Let’s keep going. Let’s get this signed.
And then let’s keep fighting for every state, every Veteran, and every life that can still be saved.
