Foster Announces State of the Union Guest

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) announced that Suzanne Hoban, Founder and Executive Director of the Family Health Partnership Clinic, will be his guest for this year’s State of the Union address. The Family Health Partnership Clinic provides health care to uninsured adults in McHenry County, Illinois. 

“I am proud to welcome Suzanne Hoban as my guest to this year's State of the Union address,” said Rep. Foster. “Last year, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress enacted the largest cuts to health care in American history, sending costs skyrocketing and increasing the number of uninsured people in Illinois by an estimated 528,000 by 2034. In the face of these cuts, the Family Health Partnership Clinic’s work is more important than ever. We must lift up leaders like Suzanne who ensure our communities have access to the affordable, high-quality health care they deserve when Washington falls short.”

“I’m honored to join Congressman Foster at this year’s State of the Union address,” said Suzanne Hoban. “At the Family Health Partnership Clinic, our mission is rooted in the belief that we have a responsibility to care for one another. Recent cuts to health care have already had a devastating impact on our community, and we will continue working every day to provide our uninsured neighbors with the health services they need. Congressman Foster has been a strong advocate for expanding affordable care, and I look forward to joining him to highlight the urgent need for lower costs and better access to care for families nationwide.”

The State of the Union is on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
