The Illinois Society of Anesthesiologists (ISA) has recognized State Representative Patti Bellock (R-Hinsdale) as “Legislator of the Year” for her leadership on issues relating to patient safety and other health care legislation as a member of the Illinois General Assembly. The award was presented at the ISA’s Annual House of Delegates meeting in Chicago on April 29 by Dr. Asokumar Buvanendran, Chair of the ISA Governmental Affairs Committee (see attached photo).
“It is a privilege working with our local anesthesiologists to advance policies at the state level that focus on patient safety and strengthening the delivery of the highest quality health care for Illinois families,” Rep. Bellock said. “I am truly honored to accept this award and look forward to making continued progress on state health care issues in partnership with our hardworking and dedicated anesthesiologists.”
Representative Bellock’s district is home to hundreds of the most educated and experienced anesthesiologists in the State of Illinois, many of whom work locally at Elmhurst Hospital in Elmhurst, Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, and Adventist Hinsdale Hospital in Hinsdale, respectively.
