The leader of Clinton's Warner Hospital and Health Services reacted to the Governor's State of the State address from Wednesday and was pleased with the things he discussed in regard to healthcare.

Thursday morning on the WHOW Morning Show, Paul Skowron called Governor JB Pritzker "friendly to healthcare" and believes many things the Governor accomplished last year and the things he outlined this year are going to be good for Warner Hospital and Health Services. 

Skowron applauds the Governor for capping out of pocket costs for individuals that need insulin and for expanding insurance for reproductive healthcare, like mammogram screenings. He notes a proposal last year from the Governor regarding staffing would have greatly impacted small, rural hospitals like Warner Hospital and Health Services, but Skowron notes, they were able to get the Governor to reduce that legislation to larger networks. 

According to Skowron, the Pritzker administration has also supported expanded funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention along with mental healthcare.
