Advocacy, Policy, and the Future of Healthcare in Illinois

In this episode of More Than Medicine, Dr. Ngozi Ezike is joined by A.J. Wilhelmi, President and CEO of the Illinois Health and Hospital Association, for a timely conversation on healthcare policy, advocacy, and equity. Drawing on his background in law, public service, and the Illinois Senate, A.J. shares how policy decisions directly shape health outcomes in communities across the state. Together, they explore the critical role of safety-net health systems like Sinai Chicago, the growing challenges facing hospitals amid a shifting political landscape, and what it will take to protect and strengthen access to care for the most vulnerable. The conversation also looks ahead to upcoming elections, evolving federal policies, and the actions leaders, organizations, and communities can take to advance a more just and equitable healthcare system.
