Who We Are

SEIU Healthcare Illinois & Indiana is the voice of more than 7,000 health systems workers. Our members work in every department of the hospitals and clinics we represent, from dietary and housekeeping workers to nursing assistants, from highly skilled technicians to doctors. Most of our work is done in public healthcare facilities and community hospitals. We care for your children, our seniors and parents, providing many important services.

In addition to uniting thousands of healthcare workers in the Chicago area and Northwest Indiana, SEIU Healthcare has worked to protect needed services at community hospitals. We helped pass legislation to bring long-overdue funding to Cook County hospitals that are the only safety net for many uninsured families. We’ve held leading for-profit hospital chains accountable to the communities they serve by fighting for improved charity care policies and against racial redlining in healthcare facility planning.

As healthcare workers we are also part of SEIU Healthcare, the national union for nurses and healthcare workers, and part of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Launched in 2007, SEIU Healthcare unites more than one million nurses and healthcare workers.

Together in SEIU, we are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of care for every patient, fixing our broken healthcare system and improving the lives of healthcare workers, our families and our communities.
