Health care is a more pressing public policy issues than it has been at any time since the passage of the Medicare legislation in 1965. Technology is expanding exponentially, new pharmaceuticals are continually available to treat both acute and chronic health conditions, but cost pressures and access gaps continue to grow.  Health care policy is a national issue, but health care is delivered locally.  Provena Mercy has had a key role in the health care in the Fox Valley since 1911.
