SPRINGFIELD, IL — This week, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) will kick off a tour of hospitals and community health centers across Illinois' 13th district to raise awareness about the devastating impact of proposed Medicaid cuts by Congressional Republicans. Last week, House Republicans passed a budget reconciliation framework that would require an $880 billion reduction to Medicaid, aimed at funding tax cuts for billionaires and large corporations. These cuts threaten the vital support that health centers rely on to provide care to local communities. The tour will begin on Thursday, April 17th, with a visit to the Carlinville Area Hospital in Carlinville. From there, she will head to Granite City to tour the Chestnut Clinic. On Friday, April 18th, Budzinski will visit the Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, before wrapping up the tour with a stop at Crossing Healthcare in Decatur.

ALTON - Cervical cancer is a concern for anyone with a cervix, but fortunately, it’s possible to detect and treat it early. Dr. Dennis Sands, Chief Medical Officer with OSF Healthcare, recently stopped by “Our Daily Show!” with CJ Nasello to talk about cervical cancer. Sands explained that most cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection that can be easily detected in a pap smear. “One of the great things about finding that or making that discovery is we’re able to just simply do a pap smear, which is a screening test,” he said. “The main thing is just if people get their paps like they need to, then they’re able to catch the precursor lesions, which are caused by the HPV virus, and then we’re able to treat them before they actually ever develop cervical cancer.” Sands explained that the pap smear is a “super sensitive” screening that only
