Have you experienced a recent life change? Maybe you lost your Medicaid coverage, got married or divorced, had a baby, or are new to the State of Illinois.

If so, Get Covered Illinois reminds you that when you experience a qualifying life event, you can still enroll for health coverage through a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) 🩺✨

Health coverage gives you access to preventive care, medications, checkups, and support when you need it most. Protect yourself and those you care for. 💙

A slight tremor. Smaller handwriting. Changes in walking, sleep, stiffness, or sense of smell. Parkinson’s disease can begin with subtle signs that are easy to miss, which is why awareness and early education matter.

At our recent Learn on Your Lunch session, participants learned about Parkinson’s disease, including early signs, symptoms, possible causes, treatment options, symptom management, and ways to protect brain health.

Thank you to Dr. Eilrayna Gelyana and Dr. Rebecca Jules from Northwestern Medicine’s Parkinson’s Disease & Movement Disorders Center, and Karen Williams from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, for sharing their expertise on care, research, and community participation.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined this important conversation on awareness, education, and brain health.

During a recent visit to Springfield, IL, CFHC CEO Sherry Pace and members of our leadership team met with Earl Bell, Chief of Staff to Illinois State Senator Elgie Sims.

We discussed a critical issue: community health centers are reimbursed only a fraction of the true cost of Medicaid visits, despite nearly 70% of Chicago patients relying on Medicaid for care. Even so, organizations like ours continue to absorb these costs to ensure communities receive high-quality, essential services.

Partnerships with local leaders are key. By working together, we can elevate community voices, advocate for equitable funding, and push for policies that expand access to care for all.
