Episode description

"We have a chance to take a meaningful step in fighting burnout and mental health issues in the health care profession. We have lost too many valued and vibrant health care professionals due to an illness that is treatable but stigmatized – including the devastating loss of Dr. Lorna Breen. The Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act will leave a lasting legacy for bettering our health care community, taking the first step in addressing this horrible crisis. Endorsement of the Lorna Breen Act is not limited to medical students, other health care workers, students, and hospitals have a stake."

Corey Feist is co-founder, Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes Foundation.

He shares his story and discusses the KevinMD article, "A step forward: a way to advance the mental health of health care professionals." (https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2021/05/a-step-forward-a-way-to-advance-the-mental-health-of-health-care-professionals.html)
