Last week, Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA), Todd Young (R-IN), Jack Reed (D-RI), and Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, a law that had been successfully passed in 2022 to help prevent suicide, burnout, and mental and behavioral health conditions among healthcare professionals. Provisions of this law that made funding possible expired last year, and this new legislation would reauthorize grant programs for education on strategies to reduce burnout, peer-support programming, and mental and behavioral health treatments. Communities with a shortage of health care workers, rural communities, and those experiencing burnout due to administrative burdens will be prioritized. Read more about this bill.
