Commissioner Miller Hails $50 Billion for Rural Health Care, Texas Leads the Way
This announcement proves once again that President Trump understands rural America because he listens to the people who live and work there,” said Commissioner Miller. “While past administrations talked about helping rural communities, President Trump is delivering real results. This funding will strengthen rural hospitals, drive technology investments, support local clinics, expand emergency care, and ensure rural families are not left behind. The Texas Department of Agriculture’s (TDA) Texas State Office of Rural Health will be a critical part of this effort, working in collaboration with Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to strengthen rural hospitals, expand access to care, and ensure rural Texans are not left behind. This funding will support rural hospitals, clinics, emergency services, and the health care workforce that keeps our rural communities strong.  [More]

Commissioner Miller Celebrates Passage of Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act
Make America Healthy Again is about a whole lot more than just fixing the meals served on our children’s school lunch trays. This movement is also about correcting the bad assumptions that have driven federal nutrition policy for far too long. Since the Obama administration's school nutrition mandates rolled out in 2010, our children have been pushed into diet models that have missed the mark.
