Last update: 8 hours ago

Medical Debt Relief: Illinois’ relief program has erased $1.4 billion in medical debt for nearly 700,000 residents, reaching its milestone with about $10 million in taxpayer funding. Hospital Merger: Rush and Endeavor Health plan to combine into a 12-hospital system, expanding care and research as Edward Hospital nurses seek a union election. Coverage Access: The state is offering a special enrollment period for 9,300 Illinoisans who lost Medicaid coverage. Mental Health: Illinois will retain 25 psychiatric beds at Choate Mental Health Center, though the decision drew concern from state leaders. Seasonal Health: State health officials are urging residents to get flu shots as the season begins.
