A resolution 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".
SRES 567 is a symbolic Senate resolution recognizing the serious issue of healthcare worker burnout in the U.S. and designating March 18, 2024, as the first "Health Workforce Well-Being Day of Awareness." It does not create new laws or funding but highlights statistics showing 50% of healthcare workers reported burnout in 2020, along with high rates of depression, violence, and intent to leave the field. The resolution calls for raising public awareness and encouraging action across sectors - including government, healthcare systems, and employers - to support worker well-being and improve patient care. It aligns with existing federal initiatives like the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act.
