As of January 1, 2025, Illinois-licensed healthcare professionals must complete cultural competency education before license renewal or registration. IHA is offering member-exclusive, free training intended to fulfill this requirement that includes nursing continuing education credits and certificates of attendance for participating in the live program.

This one-hour webinar is essential for healthcare professionals aiming to enhance their cultural competency, a critical component in providing quality care to all patients. Understanding cultural nuances is vital for fostering an inclusive environment that respects diverse perspectives and reduces healthcare disparities. By deepening cultural awareness, healthcare providers can better navigate patient interactions, leading to improved patient outcomes and more equitable care. The training will underscore the importance of continued growth in cultural competency as a key factor in delivering effective, evidence-based healthcare.

Held the evening before the Governor’s state budget address, IHA's State Legislative Reception provides an excellent opportunity to meet with Illinois legislators and constitutional officers and highlight critical healthcare issues heading into the spring legislative session.

As hospitals and health systems continue to navigate unprecedented challenges, IHA knows it has never been more important for elected officials to hear directly from their hospital leaders. As the spring session begins in earnest, establishing or renewing a relationship with your elected officials will be instrumental in advancing legislation that supports hospitals and health systems as they transform healthcare delivery across the state. IHA’s State Legislative Reception provides a forum to meet your state legislators and communicate a unified message on key hospital priorities.

Also, please mark your calendars and plan to attend other key IHA events this spring, including:

• IHA’s State Advocacy Day, Wednesday, April 30, with a morning kick-off at Vinegar Hill Mall in Springfield.

• IHA Federal Advocacy Day, May 4-6, during AHA’s Annual Meeting, Capitol Hill, Washington D.C.
