IHA and ICAHN teamed up to offer Making Your Voice Count, a comprehensive training program designed for healthcare leaders who would like to become more effective advocates for their hospital/health system. This dynamic program will explore the challenges of effective communication and advocacy in Illinois’ ever-changing healthcare policy environment—and how to overcome those challenges.

The program consists of four modules taken over the course of six months. Participants have the option of attending in-person or online via live videoconferencing. Attendance at IHA Advocacy Day will be in-person in Springfield.
