SPRINGFIELD – In an effort to bring transparency and dignity to end-of-life care in Illinois correctional facilities, State Senator Adriane championed a measure that would require the Illinois Department of Corrections to publish annual reports on its hospice and palliative care programs.

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson is leading a measure, in collaboration with the Office of the State Treasurer, to establish a state-managed investment pool for non-profits, providing a secure and competitive investment option.
