Securing The Future: How Ironworkers Power Energy Storage With Precision And Skill
Thursday, May 1, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] As Illinois accelerates toward a clean energy future, ironworkers are doing more than just supporting the transition—they’re making it possible with safe, skilled, and reliable rigging and equipment setting on some of the state’s most critical energy storage projects. Thanks to bold investments by Governor Pritzker and the Illinois General Assembly, energy storage—especially battery systems—has become a centerpiece of the state’s green infrastructure. Behind the scenes, union ironworkers are the ones rigging and setting massive battery units and essential equipment with unmatched precision. These are not just construction tasks—they’re mission-critical operations that demand expertise, coordination, and an unwavering commitment to safety. From anchoring battery enclosures to securing large-scale energy storage units in place, ironworkers are central to ensuring these projects meet performance and safety standards. Their contribution is foundational to the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which is reshaping how Illinois stores and delivers clean power. Including highly trained union labor on these complex jobs not only protects workers and communities—it guarantees the success of each installation. When you see a battery system supporting solar or wind energy in Illinois, know that ironworkers had a hand in setting it safely, skillfully, and reliably. In every bolt tightened and every rig lifted, ironworkers are powering a greener tomorrow.

Illinois Medicaid: Working Together To Support The Health Of Our Families, Communities, And State
Thursday, May 1, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] ‘You showed up in my life at the perfect time’ On any given day, nearly 26,000 Illinois residents experience homelessness. Last summer, “Trinity,” a 33-year-old mom from central Illinois, was one of them. Trinity and her children had moved into an emergency shelter, which partners with a Medicaid health plan to host mobile clinic events at their facility. When Trinity showed up at an event, the scope of her family’s medical needs became clear. The family had visited emergency rooms twice in the past week. All of her children were overdue for well-child exams. And Trinity was 16 weeks pregnant—without any prenatal Practitioners acted swiftly, checking up on the kids and performing prenatal assessments on Trinity. She was prescribed medication for extremely high blood pressure and monitored at three subsequent clinic events. In November, Trinity delivered a healthy baby boy. And she brought him home to long-term housing she secured near the shelter—with assistance from her health plan. “You showed up in my life at the perfect time,” Trinity says. “You have helped me so much, and I don’t feel alone.” Paid for by the Illinois Association of Medicaid Health Plans
