“Anesthesiologists play an essential role in ensuring safe and effective medical treatment prior to, during and after medical procedures. There is currently an anesthesiologist shortage across our state and my hope is through this new law, a new door will be opened for those wanting to practice this specific type of medicine without financial barriers.”
(Illinois Senate Republicans — Official Legislative Release) “Dispatchers have an incredibly tough, stressful, and important job, dealing with emergencies and working to get the right assistance to people who desperately need help in a timely manner. As a firefighter, I know the important and vital role dispatchers have as they assist us in our work to save lives and protect property. They are the first step in the process of responding to emergencies and should be recognized as such.”
