Sec. 2.
The purpose of this Act is to establish programs in the
Illinois Department of Public Health to upgrade health care
services for all citizens of the State, to increase access, and to reduce health care disparities by providing grants to residency programs, scholarships to
medical students, and a loan repayment program for eligible health care providers who
will agree to practice in areas of the State demonstrating the greatest
need for more professional medical care. The programs shall encourage
eligible health care providers to locate in areas where health manpower
shortages exist and to increase the total number of eligible health care providers in the State.
