Support 340B Legislation This Spring: NO Budget Appropriation, NO Cost To Taxpayers
Thursday, Mar 26, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] When it comes to healthcare, what’s at stake this legislative session? It’s the health of Illinois communities, large and small, urban, suburban and rural. Hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) serve communities throughout the state, with FQHCs providing essential primary care and hospitals providing lifesaving care around the clock. Yet they face increased costs—from supplies to staffing—just like everyday Americans challenged to make ends meet. What’s more, H.R. 1 will strip Illinois of up to $57 billion in federal Medicaid dollars over 10 years. The federal government created the 340B Drug Pricing Program to help hospitals and FQHCs serving many uninsured and low-income patients expand access to care and provide more comprehensive healthcare services. Recent drugmaker restrictions are making it difficult for hospitals and FQHCs to offer the services historically marginalized communities deserve. Hospitals and FQHCs invest 340B savings in free lifesaving health screenings, critical healthcare services in underserved communities, free transportation to medical appointments, mobile clinics, new freestanding clinics and more. Legislator support is critical to ensuring 340B survives and communities thrive. Stand with Illinois hospitals and FQHCs for 340B. Vote YES on House Bill 2371 SA 2—at NO cost to taxpayers and with NO budget appropriation. Learn more.

Credit Unions Step Up: Support After Disaster
Thursday, Mar 26, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] When a devastating tornado struck a local Illinois school district last spring, the community lost far more than a building. An elementary school was destroyed, leaving students, teachers, and staff without supplies, classrooms, or basic essentials. Amid that crisis, Area Educational Credit Union showed what the credit union difference truly means. “Our credit union was able to be responsive very quickly,” Jeremy Dougherty, member of Area Educational CU’s Board of Directors shared. The credit union immediately sent funds, allowing teachers to purchase replacement materials right away. The credit union also offered meaningful financial relief. “We were able to defer payments for that district,” Jeremy explained. “I’m proud to be part of a credit union that can do that.” Teachers, aides, and staff who lost workdays were granted payment extensions, easing stress during an already overwhelming time. This captures the heart of what Illinois credit unions stand for: people helping people, especially when it matters most.
