recognizing the essential contributions of frontline health workers in assisting the state to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and urging greater attention and support for local frontline health workers.
HR 16 is a New Hampshire legislative resolution recognizing the essential role of frontline health workers - such as nurses, community health workers, and emergency personnel - in pandemic recovery and ongoing public health efforts. It urges the state to provide greater support, including protection and resources, to address burnout and workforce shortages. The bill does not create new funding or legal requirements but formally acknowledges these workers' contributions during the pandemic and their critical role in community health resilience. As a symbolic resolution, it directly affects all frontline health workers across New Hampshire.
