Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Reauthorization Act
This bill reauthorizes existing mental health support programs for healthcare professionals under the Dr. Lorna Breen Act. It extends funding and reporting periods for two key initiatives: (1) an education campaign encouraging healthcare workers to access mental health services, and (2) programs promoting mental wellness within healthcare workplaces. The bill updates the timeline from 2022-2024 to 2025-2029 for both programs and requires grantees to focus on reducing administrative burdens for healthcare workers. It directly affects healthcare professionals by maintaining access to mental health resources and supports eligible entities like hospitals and health systems administering these programs.
