Founded in 1840, ISMS is a professional membership association representing Illinois physicians in all medical specialties, and their patients, statewide.

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Illinois State Medical Society (ISMS) today announced its endorsement of Gov. JB Pritzker for a third term, citing his record of working with physicians to improve patient care across Illinois.

For the past seven years, Gov. JB Pritzker has been a steadfast partner in Illinois physicians’ efforts to make the state a better place to practice medicine and for patients to receive the care they need.

From landmark reforms tackling prior authorization limitations to eliminating junk insurance plans and banning step therapy that keeps patients away from treatments that are working, Gov. Pritzker has always put common sense first, cutting through the administrative burdens that keep physicians from spending time with patients. That same commitment carried through to the recent health insurer downcoding reform law and much-needed changes to the approval process for treating workers who are injured on the job, both signed into law this year.

“Illinois is home to some of the most extraordinary health professionals in the nation,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Their dedication to their patients and communities is second to none, and ISMS physicians demonstrate that every day. Not only are they world-class professionals, they’ve also been indispensable partners in our fight to strengthen healthcare access and affordability across Illinois. I’m so grateful for all they do and look forward to many more years of collaboration.”

The society looks forward to continuing this partnership to build a healthier, more accessible Illinois for physicians and patients alike.
