On February 21, 2024, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered his annual State of the State and Budget address before a joint session of the Illinois General Assembly. The $52.7 billion Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) budget includes substantial investments in early childhood education, the creation of a state child tax credit, and the elimination of $4 billion in medical debt for over one million Illinoisans over the next four years. The budget also includes a reduction in funding for certified local health departments. See IPHA's letter to IDPH's Director regarding this decrease in funding for local public health.
IPHA's longstanding partner, PHIMC, seeks proposal from eligible organizations to participate in the IDHS Transgender and Gender Diverse (TGD) Wellness and Equity Campaign.
