Recognizing the seriousness of widespread health care worker burnout in the United States and the need to strengthen health workforce well-being, and expressing support for the designation of March 18, 2024, as the inaugural "Health Workforce Well-Being Day of Awareness".

HRES 1089 is a symbolic resolution designating March 18, 2024, as the inaugural "Health Workforce Well-Being Day of Awareness" to highlight the crisis of burnout among U.S. healthcare workers. It recognizes widespread burnout (affecting 50% of workers in 2020), associated mental health risks (like depression and suicide), and its impact on patient care and healthcare system capacity. The resolution expresses support for raising public awareness and mobilizing action across sectors - including government, health systems, and employers - to improve well-being, reduce administrative burdens, and strengthen the healthcare workforce. It does not create new laws or allocate funding, serving solely as a formal acknowledgment of an existing public health concern.
