IHA Hospital Advocacy Day: May 13

Location:

Vinegar Hill Mall, Springfield, Illinois and Illinois State Capitol Building

As the Illinois General Assembly moves through its spring session, IHA is focused on passing HB 2371 to protect the 340B Drug Discount Program; strengthening the healthcare workforce and rural delivery systems; educating lawmakers on Illinois’ medical liability climate; continuing implementation of MCO prior authorization reforms; and ensuring the continuation of enhanced Hospital Assessment Program funding — priorities that require clear, coordinated advocacy from hospitals across the state.

To support these efforts, IHA will host Hospital Advocacy Day in Springfield on Wednesday, May 13. Hospital Advocacy Day is an important opportunity for hospital leaders to meet face-to-face with legislators and reinforce the hospital community’s priorities.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP by May 1. IHA will coordinate meetings with your legislators; please indicate in the RSVP form which state legislators you would like to meet with and your order of preference.
The day will begin with a hospital leader briefing at 7:30 a.m. CT at Vinegar Hill Mall (107 W. Cook Street), Springfield. Parking is available at their west side lot and along Cook Street.  

Room blocks are available for Tuesday, May 12 at SpringHill Suites Springfield Southwest and the adjacent Fairfield Inn & Suites Springfield Southwest. Reservations must be confirmed by April 21.

IHA will distribute briefing materials and talking points in advance to ensure you are fully prepared for meetings.
