Healing Communities: Illinois Hospitals Are Training the Next Generation of Caregivers
Wednesday, Apr 9, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] With longstanding nurse shortages exacerbated by the pandemic, this year Illinois is expected to have 15,000 fewer nurses than needed to care for patients. Illinois hospitals know that the health and well-being of individuals and communities depend on our state’s healthcare workforce. That’s why hospitals across the state are helping train the next generation of caregivers—so every Illinois resident can receive the care they need, when they need it. For example, the healthcare system Carle Health and its affiliate Methodist College in Peoria recently launched a new academic investment program that covers the college’s nursing school tuition, book costs and other fees for eligible students who commit to working at Carle Health for two years. “We have a significant portion of our nursing workforce that is nearing retirement age, and as experienced nurses leave the health system, we need to continue to close that gap with new graduates,” said Joy Ledbetter, Carle Health’s vice president of talent acquisition and workforce development. Nurses, doctors, behavioral health specialists and more are essential to healthcare. Illinois hospitals provide lifesaving care around the clock, and they’re working hard to solve healthcare’s toughest challenges. Learn more about how Illinois hospitals are healing communities.

Misguided Insurance Regulation Proposals Could Increase Premiums For The Majority Of Illinoisans
Wednesday, Apr 9, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Several bills proposed this legislative session seek to ban certain factors that insurance companies use to set fair and accurate insurance pricing for customers. The bills would ban the use of credit-based insurance scores, zip codes, age, and gender in insurance pricing. An op-ed published recently in the Chicago Tribune explains why such bans could cause insurance rates to rise for the majority of consumers. Case in point: When the use of credit was banned in Washington in 2021, more than 60 percent of Washington drivers saw an increase in their insurance premiums. Should similar legislation pass in Illinois, the majority of Illinoisans with better-than-average credit could see premium increases. With stubbornly high inflation and high property taxes, now is not the time to pass bills that could end up hiking insurance premiums for most Illinoisans. Click here to learn more.
