CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - On Thursday, Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) hosted a virtual panel, announcing the reintroduction of the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act.
The act was named after Dr. Lorna Breen, a physician from Charlottesville, who took her own life after fighting the pandemic head-on in New York last year.
Jennifer Feist, Breen’s sister, said it was if she and other healthcare workers were fighting a war on the front lines. After getting COVID-19 herself, then returning back to work to help her patients, Feist said her sister was not the same.
