I’m horrified by today’s unspeakable tragedy. As a parent and as an American, my heart aches for the families of those who lost loved ones today. Moments likes this keep traumatizing our nation. We must must harness our sadness & rage to ensure no family goes through this again.

Join me in thanking Gina, a nurse from Benton, AR. She is known for her compassion and kindness and for always being there for others. She even has a happy dance she does with her patients to lift their spirits! Thank you, Gina for being the healer that you are. #RxforGraditude

Our health depends on the well-being of our health workforce. Let’s take care of those who are always there to care for us.

Worsening health worker burnout means fewer people to provide routine primary care and emergency care. It means access to care and quality of care will suffer. We are already seeing evidence of this. 4/7

Harris and I heard from health workers in a range of positions how the last 2+ years of the pandemic only exacerbated those challenges. 3/7

Health workers nationwide have long grappled with systemic challenges that have driven burnout to record levels—from excessive workloads to physical/verbal abuse to poor access to mental health care. 2/7

Burnout was a crisis before #COVID19, and the pandemic has made it worse. Health workers nationwide face chronic workplace stress and abuse and are experiencing alarming levels of burnout, anxiety, and depression. 4/6

The stakes are high. If not addressed, the health worker burnout crisis will make it harder for patients to get care when they need it, cause health costs to rise, hinder our ability to prepare for the next public health emergency, and worsen health disparities. 3/6

Over the past 2+ years, health workers have been on the frontlines of the #COVID19 pandemic, where they not only saved lives, but in too many cases, sacrificed their own health and the health of their families as they served others. 2/6

Each of us play a critical role in preventing and addressing hate crimes. Whether it be at the local, state, or federal level, we can confront bias-related incidents and protect the safety and security of our neighbors near and far. 2/2
