U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) announced today that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded a total of $15,271,282 in grants to support the establishment or enhancement of several health care programs in Illinois.
"Today's funding is an important investment in the Illinois public health system, in the health research done at our hospitals and universities, and in the primary care programs that keep our citizens healthy," said Durbin. "These programs -- whether they are providing valuable patient care or researching the causes of disease -- will help Illinoisans lead long, healthy lives."
