Expressing support for healthcare personnel and condemning assaults on healthcare personnel as the U.S. healthcare system faces unprecedented staffing shortages and increased workplace-related stressors.
HRES 909 is a non-binding resolution that condemns workplace violence against healthcare personnel and expresses support for them amid severe staffing shortages and rising stress in the healthcare system. It specifically calls on the Department of Justice to investigate assaults on healthcare workers and the Department of Labor to improve workplace violence prevention resources in healthcare settings. The resolution also urges federal agencies to provide mental health support for healthcare workers facing increased trauma and stress. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws but sets a policy stance and recommends actions for federal agencies to address this issue.
