COVID-19 has pushed Illinois’ healthcare workforce to the brink. But the state’s healthcare workforce was challenged before the pandemic, and an aging population will further increase demand.

What’s being done to address shortages exacerbated by COVID-19, and what changes will outlast the crisis? What more needs to be done?

A panel of experts will address these questions and more at an in-person Health News Illinois event on Nov. 16 in Chicago at MATTER in the Merchandise Mart.

Masks and COVID-19 vaccination are required. Seating will be limited to ensure spacing.

Panelists:

Angela Schnepf, CEO, LeadingAge Illinois
Marvin Lindsey, CEO, Community Behavioral Healthcare Association of Illinois
Monique Reed, Vice President, ANA-Illinois
Hana Hinkle, Director, UIC Medicine Rockford’s National Center for Rural Health Professionals
Joe Dant, CEO, Edward Hospital
Sen. Laura Fine, D-Glenview

Tuesday, Nov. 16
8:30 am to 10:00 am
