Mission
THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION IS TO REDUCE BURNOUT OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND SAFEGUARD THEIR WELL-BEING AND JOB SATISFACTION. WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE SEEKING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IS UNIVERSALLY VIEWED AS A SIGN OF STRENGTH FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS.
Program accomplishments
- ACCELERATING SOLUTIONS: THE DR. LORNA BREEN HEROES' FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING THE OPERATIONAL PRACTICES AND PROCESSES DRIVING HEALTH WORKER BURNOUT, WHILE CHANGING HOW THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY SUPPORTS HEALTH WORKERS' MENTAL HEALTH. THROUGH ALL IN: CARING FOR CAREGIVERS, WE GUIDE AND EQUIP HOSPITALS, CLINICS, AND OTHER CARE FACILITIES IN BUILDING A THRIVING AND SUSTAINABLE WORKFORCE WHERE HEALTH WORKERS HAVE THE SUPPORT, STRUCTURES, AND CULTURE THEY NEED TO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL CARE TODAY AND FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. TOGETHER, WE IMPROVE WORKPLACE POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT REDUCE BURNOUT AND NORMALIZE HELP-SEEKING - GOING BEYOND ENCOURAGING SELF-CARE AND INDIVIDUAL RESILIENCE TO FOCUS ON OPERATIONAL-LEVEL IMPROVEMENTS. WE HAVE EQUIPPED 35,000+ HEALTHCARE LEADERS TO IMPROVE WORKPLACE POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT REDUCE BURNOUT, NORMALIZE HELP-SEEKING, AND STRENGTHEN PROFESSIONAL WELLBEING. WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH 30+ HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS TO ACCELERATE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT ADDRESS THE TOP DRIVER OF BURNOUT - ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE PARTICIPATING HOSPITAL IMPROVED THEIR STAFF RETENTION AND ENGAGEMENT WHILE IMPROVING QUALITY OF WORK AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE/ENGAGEMENT SCORES. DURING THIS HOSPITAL'S QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, THEY DECREASED THEIR WORKFORCE'S COGNITIVE BURDEN BY ADDRESSING EHR ALERT FATIGUE - REDUCING UNNECESSARY INPATIENT ALERTS BY 52% AND UNNECESSARY AMBULATORY ALERTS BY 73% PER MONTH.Expenses $1,203,355 · grants $185,500 · revenue $438,877
- ADVOCATING FOR HEALTH WORKERS: THE DR. LORNA BREEN HEROES' FOUNDATION BELIEVES EVERY HEALTH WORKER SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND PROFESSIONAL WELLBEING SUPPORT THAT THEY MAY NEED, AT EVERY MOMENT IN THEIR CAREER. IN THE WAKE OF DR. BREEN'S TRAGIC DEATH IN 2020, THE DR. LORNA BREEN HEROES' FOUNDATION WORKED WITH PARTNERS, ALLIES, AND CONGRESSIONAL CHAMPIONS TO DEVELOP THE BIPARTISAN DR. LORNA BREEN HEALTH CARE PROVIDER PROTECTION ACT, WHICH BECAME LAW IN 2022. THIS LANDMARK LAW AND ITS FUNDING HAVE ALREADY TRANSFORMED AND SAVED LIVES - IMPROVING THE SYSTEMS IN WHICH HEALTH WORKERS ARE EDUCATED, TRAINED, AND PRACTICE. FOR EXAMPLE, SOME GRANTEES LOWERED TURNOVER BY 35%, REDUCED BURNOUT BY 37%, AND DECREASED MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ANXIETY (53%) AND DEPRESSION (50%). NOW, WE ARE GALVANIZING OUR COMMUNITY TO GET THE LORNA BREEN ACT REAUTHORIZED AND FUNDED, SO WE CAN CONTINUE THE LIFE-SAVING, SYSTEMS-CHANGING WORK. ADDITIONALLY, WE WORK WITH STATE LEADERS TO ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES THAT PROTECT HEALTH WORKERS' ACCESS TO CONFIDENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND IMPROVE WORKPLACE CONDITIONS THAT REDUCE BURNOUT (E.G., PRIOR AUTHORIZATION STANDARDIZATION, WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION).Expenses $130,799 · revenue $47,704
- ADVANCING COLLABORATION: THE DR. LORNA BREEN HEROES' FOUNDATION BRINGS INTERDISCIPLINARY, CROSS-SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS TOGETHER TO HARNESS OUR COLLECTIVE STRENGTH AND MAKING A LASTING IMPACT FOR OUR HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE'S MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING. THROUGH OUR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM WE ENGAGE 400+ HEALTH WORKERS, MEDICAL STUDENTS, EXPERTS, AND LEADERS TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING ON PROTECTING HEALTH WORKERS' WELLBEING AND ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH OUR ALL IN: WELLBEING FIRST FOR HEALTHCARE COALITION, WE LEAD 35+ NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO ADVANCE PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS AND REMOVE BARRIERS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. TOGETHER, OUR ALL IN FOR MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE EQUIPS THE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY TO CHANGE STIGMATIZING POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT DISCOURAGE HEALTH WORKERS FROM SEEKING MENTAL HEALTH CARE. FOR EXAMPLE, THROUGH THE WELLBEING FIRST CHAMPION CHALLENGE PROGRAM, WE SUPPORT LICENSURE BOARDS, HEALTH SYSTEMS, HOSPITALS, MEDICAL GROUPS/CLINICS, AND HEALTH PLANS TO COMMIT TO EQUAL PRIVACY IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR HEALTH WORKERS - ENSURING CONFIDENTIALITY OF DIAGNOSES AND TREATMENTS DURING LICENSURE AND CREDENTIALING PROCESSES. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2025, 60 LICENSURE BOARDS AND 1,850 HOSPITALS AND CARE FACILITIES HAVE CHANGED THEIR LICENSING AND CREDENTIALING APPLICATIONS - BENEFITING 1.85 MILLION LICENSED AND 357,000 CREDENTIALED HEALTH WORKERS.Expenses $409,839 · revenue $149,473
