Nurses and doctors who care for Virginiaâs critically ill and dying COVID-19 patients told Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., on Monday that they support his efforts to bring mental health reform to the nationâs health care workforce.
Kaine invited them to a Zoom meeting before heading into a week of congressional negotiations to push for passage of both a COVID-19 relief bill and passage of the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act.
Breen, a native of Virginia, was director of a Manhattan emergency room and worked around the clock during the spring peak of cases in New York. She was infected with the disease and continued to work nonstop, with limited PPE, not enough staff or equipment and while patients died in the waiting room and hallways.
