Contact your Senator to ask for their support and vote in favor of:
House Bill 1040: Protection against violence targeting vulnerable workers: designed to protect healthcare workers in all care settings by strengthening penalties for deliberate acts of violence.
Action Steps:
2.Reach out to your legislator through email, letter, phone call or meeting to share your expertise and support for our healthcare workers!
Key Points:
- Healthcare workers experience workplace violence at a rate five times higher than workers in other industries.
- Many incidents go unreported, leaving employees at risk and hazards unresolved.
- This violence contributes to higher burnout, turnover, and staffing shortages, which negatively impact patient care and community health.
