HCR 18 Delaware House · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

RECOGNIZING MARCH 18, 2025, AS THE INAUGURAL “HEALTH WORKFORCE WELL-BEING DAY OF AWARENESS”.

This bill is a symbolic resolution recognizing March 18, 2025, as "Health Workforce Well-Being Day of Awareness" in Delaware. It does not create new programs or funding but formally acknowledges the ongoing crisis of burnout, mental health challenges, and workplace violence affecting healthcare workers. The resolution cites statistics showing 50% of healthcare workers experienced burnout in 2020, along with high rates of violence and depression among nurses and physicians. It aligns with prior federal efforts like the Dr. Lorna Breen Act but focuses solely on raising awareness through this designated day. The resolution directly affects Delaware healthcare workers and the state's commitment to addressing workforce well-being.
