Healthcare Professionals Concerned about House Bill 2604

The secret is out there is a nurse shortage across the country and for Illinois hospitals the road might be getting more difficult soon.

 

President and CEO of Taylorville Memorial Hospital Kim Bourne says they are keeping an eye on house bill 2604.

 

 

Bourne says healthcare professionals across the state are doing their best do educate legislators on why this bill should not be signed into law.

 

 

Bourne says the impact in Taylorville at TMH could be huge. They have excellent quality of care scores but if they have already reached their allotted nurse to patient ratio they might have to turn people away. 

 

 

Bourne appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
