CHRISTOPHER, IL (Brandon Richard, WSIL TV – Please click to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) Community health centers have become lifelines for millions of Americans struggling to stay atop rising health care costs. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, one out of every 13 people visit centers like the Christopher Rea clinic in Franklin County each year. “We have all of these rural health clinics in the region and I think people don’t really know what they do here,” said State Rep. Terri Bryant. On Thursday, Bryant joined her fellow lawmakers, State Rep. Dave Severin and State Sen. Dale Fowler, to tour the clinic. “When I’m in district, it’s great to be able to have these visuals and these on-site visits to these facilities because I learn so much from them,” said Fowler.
