The federal spending package approved Tuesday includes critical funding for ENA priorities that will mean more support for emergency pediatric care, programs to address the nursing shortage and enhance trauma care.

These include more than $305 million for nursing workforce education and development programs; the Mission Zero Act, which allows military trauma teams to work side by side in civilian trauma centers; and more than $24 million for the Emergency Medical Services for Children that helps hospitals ensure they’re ready to provide the best possible care for their youngest patients. The bill also includes funding for the National Institute of Nursing Research, the ED Alternative to Opioids Program, Poison Control Centers, and a new allocation for trauma readiness and coordination.

Several of these were the subject of ENA Action Alerts, and ENA thanks everyone who contacted their lawmakers to support these programs.

The passage of the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Reauthorization Act is a victory in the ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Health Care Coalition’s effort to protect the health and well-being of nurses, physicians and all health care professionals.

This is just the first step. As a proud member of the ALL IN Coalition, ENA now urges Congress to fund the programs created by the act to drive improvements in the systems where health workers are educated, train and practice.

For too long, nurses, physicians and other health care workers have suffered from burnout and poor mental health while giving their all to deliver patient care. This act funds programs that support the mental health of the people who are there for us every day and offers evidence-based guidance to facilities to address operations that contribute to burnout.

This is the kind of support that can keep a nurse at the stretcherside. It can save careers and it can save lives.

I encourage everyone to contact their lawmakers and urge Congress to provide $45 million for Lorna Breen Act programs in the next fiscal year using the Fund Lorna Breen Act Programs Action Alert.
