IHA’s Hospital Advocacy Day: May 8

Location:

President Abraham Lincoln Springfield DoubleTree Hotel (701 E. Adams Street, Springfield)

Illinois State Capitol Building (401 S. 2nd Street, Springfield)

Over the next several weeks and months, the Illinois General Assembly will be focusing on issues of critical concern to the hospital community, including Medicaid managed care, mandatory nurse staffing ratios and the state budget/Medicaid funding. How these issues will be resolved hinges on our collective effectiveness in reaching legislators with our key messages and our strong, unified voice.

As part of our ongoing advocacy efforts, IHA will hold a special Hospital Advocacy Day in Springfield on Wednesday, May 8.  Hospital Advocacy Day is a great opportunity for you to meet face-to-face with your legislators. 

If you can attend, RSVP by April 19 by clicking here so IHA can arrange meetings with your legislators.  For scheduling purposes, please indicate in the RSVP form which state legislators you would like to meet with and the order of your preference.

IHA will hold a briefing for hospital CEOs and other hospital leaders at 7:30 am on May 8 at The President Abraham Lincoln Springfield DoubleTree Hotel (701 E. Adams Street, Springfield).
