[Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 17 (Tuesday, January 30, 2024)] [House] [Page H299] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] SUPPORTING OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS (Ms. WILD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, Dr. Lorna Breen was a hero, a healthcare provider who put her life on the line to treat patients during the pandemic. Like countless other healthcare providers during that time, she struggled with her mental health and ultimately took her own life on April 26, 2020. To honor her legacy and provide resources to support other physicians facing mental health crises, I was proud to introduce the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, and I was thrilled to watch President Biden sign it into law last Congress. Now, the time has come for us to reaffirm our commitment to supporting our healthcare providers. Today, I introduced legislation to reauthorize this critical law, extending its funding through 2029. The work to bring mental health out of the shadows is far from over, and I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in supporting this legislation that will keep our healthcare providers safe. I am grateful for the support of Representatives Kiggans and Dingell for joining me to introduce this bill, for the partnership with my colleagues in the Senate, and for the tireless advocacy of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes Foundation. ____________________
