Illinois Credit Unions: Member‑Owned, Member‑Focused
Thursday, Apr 30, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] April is National Financial Literacy Month, a time to highlight the importance of education, understanding, and trust in financial decision‑making. For Illinois credit unions, these values are part of everyday operations, not just a once‑a‑year focus. Because credit unions are member‑owned, not‑for‑profit, and community‑focused, their structure naturally puts people first. Financial literacy comes to life through relationships, not transactions. Illinois credit unions know their members as people, not account numbers. Credit union professionals take time to:
• Offer tailored advice • Understand individual needs • Make decisions with empathy This relationship‑driven approach helps members build confidence, ask questions, and make informed financial choices. These are all key elements of financial literacy. As Scott Credit Union’s Ashleigh Deatherage explains, credit unions’ “purpose is truly to make a positive impact on those we serve.” Credit unions don’t “just look at them as another number”, they focus on the whole person behind the finances. This Financial Literacy Month, Illinois credit unions continue to empower members through education, trust, and people‑first service.

Thursday, Apr 30, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Hospital spending on payroll, supplies, services and capital projects spur $135.5 billion in economic activity annually that helps build vibrant communities across the state. A new report from the Illinois Health and Hospital Association, “Communities Win When Local Hospitals Are Strong,” shows how valuable Illinois’ over 200 hospitals and 40 health systems are to the state and local economies. Key economic contributions of Illinois hospitals include:
• Spurring job creation in other sectors: Every Illinois hospital job leads to 1.6 jobs in other sectors; and • Creating a ripple effect in spending: Every dollar hospitals spend results in another $1.40 in economic activity. Illinois hospitals are major employers and purchasers of supplies and services. They continue to drive economic spending despite financial pressures, including the loss of up to $57 billion in federal Medicaid matching funds over the next 10 years due to H.R. 1. As hospitals support communities, they ask Illinois legislators to support them: Pass House Bill 2371 SA 2 in the House to restore the federal 340B drug discount program in Illinois. Learn more.
