$117.7B Economic Impact: More Than Healthcare Providers, Hospitals Are Economic Engines
Wednesday, Apr 24, 2024 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Illinois hospitals and health systems are essential to economic growth across the state. A new report illustrates the hospital community’s role as strong economic contributors who fuel $117.7 billion in economic activity every year, resulting in good-paying jobs and more vibrant communities. While hospitals are first and foremost providers of life-saving care, their role stretches farther. They are innovators; community partners in addressing challenges of food insecurity, homelessness, health disparities and more; and major employers serving as the hub of economic activity in their communities. Illinois hospitals and health systems create 445,000 direct and indirect jobs, and they support working families through over $50 billion in direct and indirect payroll annually. What’s more:
• Illinois hospitals directly employ 190,000 Illinoisans; and • Every $1 in hospital spending leads to another $1.40 in spending. As larger purchasers of supplies and services, Illinois hospitals and health systems spend nearly $62 billion to have on hand for every patient the medical equipment and supplies needed to care for patients in any circumstance. In addition, the hospital community spends over $5.5 billion in capital projects yearly that benefit patients, and provide good jobs to Illinois workers.

Protect Illinois Hospitality – Vote No On House Bill 5345
Tuesday, Apr 23, 2024 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] “Making the Southland a destination for people visiting Chicago is a top priority for the groups we represent. We are building a new casino that will employ hundreds, bring in millions in local revenues, and increase employment opportunities for our community in the hospitality industry. This is why we need to find ways to help support these businesses – the restaurants, hotels, and now casinos, but eliminating the tip credit is not the answer. Instead of passing unnecessary solutions for a problem that doesn’t exist, let’s work together to find better options that will benefit our local businesses, help reduce the possibility of empty storefronts, and support our neighboring communities.” Cornel Darden, Jr. Tell your state legislators to VOTE NO on House Bill 5345 and Protect Illinois Hospitality
