May 19 is NAPIHAAD.

We’re raising awareness about HIV’s impact on Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities—an often overlooked part of the epidemic. In 2021, about 2% (814) of new U.S. HIV diagnoses were among AANHPI communities.

Breaking stigma, increasing awareness, and expanding access to care matters.

Sinai Chicago's President/CEO, Dr. Ngozi Ezike, joined our government affairs team in Springfield last week for Hospital Advocacy Day and critical safety-net funding discussions.

We engaged directly with Sinai Chicago legislators, key Caucus members, and IL General Assembly leadership across both chambers to advocate for critical safety-net funding and to protect the 340B program—both essential to maintaining access to care in the communities we serve.

Grateful for the opportunity to elevate these priorities at such an important time in the legislative session!

Although we did not document all of our meetings over our packed two-day trip, a huge thank you to: State Senator Lakesia Collins, Senator Willie Preston, Leader Omar Aquino, State Representative Lisa J. Davis, State Representative Yolonda Morris, State Representative Mike Crawford, Senator Javier Cervantes, Senator Elgie R. Sims, Leader Robyn Gabel for State Representative, State Representative Elizabeth "Lisa" Hernandez, Representative Barbara Hernandez, & Latino Caucus members and Co-Chairs, State Senator Graciela Guzman and State Representative Norma Hernandez, for taking the time to meet Sinai Chicago during a very busy week in Springfield.

We appreciate you and all that you do to support safety-net hospitals and the communities we serve!
