We expect 40 or so people to meet in an informal gathering with snacks and drinks, exchange business cards and hopefully do business together in the future.
Background:
HACIA and FWC worked on the legislation in full collaboration with the Illinois Health and Hospital Association to improve supplier diversity in the health facilities space. Now that the law is in effect, we hope to continue our partnership and collaboration to bring resources of fully certified businesses to hospitals throughout Northern Illinois that can meet hospital needs, especially in construction and rehabilitation of facilities.
