Health Care Council of Illinois - HCCI

The Health Care Council of Illinois (HCCI) is the strong, leading voice for nursing home communities across the state.

HCCI strives to bridge the divide between state policy makers and nursing home communities through education and advocacy. Illinois must rein in state spending to solve our financial crisis, but we must protect funding for nursing homes. Holding the line will ensure:

Residents have quality care, food and home-like surroundings. Staff have fair wages and a good work environment. Families can depend on nursing homes to care for their loved ones.

Lobby Day 2026 was a strong reminder of what collective advocacy can accomplish. Advocates from across the state came together at the Capitol to meet with more than 60 legislators, share personal stories, and discuss the issues that matter most to our communities.

From first-time participants to experienced advocates, every voice played a role in strengthening relationships and moving our work forward. We’re grateful to everyone who took the time to show up, prepare, and speak up on behalf of senior care and the people we serve. 💙
