Unsung Heroes

Illinois is at a crossroads in the fight against COVID-19: Cases are surging in all areas of the state. Nurses, doctors and healthcare providers on the front lines are asking all Illinois residents to stop the spread by taking reasonable precautions: Wear a mask in public, limit indoor social gatherings, wash your hands and keep your holiday celebrations small.

The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color is a stark reminder of the continuing health equities that challenge all of us to do better. IHA and member organizations are committed to tackling social determinants of health for better outcomes. Learn how the Illinois hospital community is responding.

IHA is working closely with health departments and government officials to ensure Illinois hospitals have the resources and support they need to respond to COVID-19. See our COVID-19 webpage for key resources, government updates, clinical guidance for providers and information from IHA on a range of issues, including federal policy, behavioral health and telehealth.
