I met with Dr. Lee Francis, CEO of Erie Family Health Centers to discuss the critical role community health centers play in keeping care accessible for all. Nearly 1 in 9 Illinoisans rely on these centers as their PCP, making it essential that we continue meeting patients where they are. (1/2)

Illinois is stepping up where Washington has failed to act. After Secretary Kennedy dismantled the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, I passed HB767, making Illinois the first state to create its own state-based vaccine-recommending body grounded in science, not politics.

As a legislator, there’s no substitute for hearing directly from those on the frontlines serving our community. Today’s roundtable with senior service providers and early childhood centers from my district was a powerful reminder of what’s at stake. (1/2)

Many Jews around the world are opening their phones after 24hrs of prayer and fasting to see this horrible news.
