\u201cWe all know the last few years have been especially hard on health care workers. They have been stretched to the breaking point with tremendously increased demands on their time and effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it is still shocking to learn, as this poll shows, that half of healthcare workers in our state plan to leave the profession in the next few years. And 80 percent of healthcare workers report they are burned out. That\u2019s not safe for them, and it\u2019s not safe for patients. How can we expect healthcare workers to continue their superhuman pandemic-era effort indefinitely?<\/p>\n
