A Conversation with Jeff Cilek
Each quarter, we feature a Federal Action Network (FAN) member leading the charge on Capitol Hill to protect essential hospitals. This quarter, we spoke with Jeff Cilek, vice president, external relations at association member St. Luke’s Health System, in Boise, Idaho, about his time working on the Senate Committee on Appropriations and how he communicates hospital needs to legislators.
