Governor Bruce Rauner has appointed former Illinois State Senator J. Bradley Burzynski of Rochelle to the Health Facilities and Services Review Board. As a long-time advocate for increasing rural health options, Burzynski will bring a valuable perspective to the board said Governor Rauner.
Burzynski served the people of north central Illinois as a member of the House of Representatives from 1990 to 1993, and was elected state senator and served from 1993 to 2011. He served as the assistant minority leader of the Illinois Senate. He is also the former minority spokesman for the Licensed Activities Committee, which regulates physicians, nurses and other health professionals.
Prior to serving in the General Assembly, Burzynski worked for the DeKalb County Farm Bureau as the Governmental Affairs Director, and the Clinton County Farm Bureau as the Farm Bureau Manager.
