Hazard Pay and Economic Assistance for Healthcare Professionals

Hazard Pay and Economic Assistance for Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare professionals across the country, from Nurses, Doctors, EMTs, MAs, PAs, Rad Techs, Surgical Techs, Mental Health professionals, Pharmacists, Social Workers, public health officials to other staff critical to clinical operations are on the frontline against COVID-19. We often support military, soldiers for putting themselves in danger for national security, and should now do the same for those fighting this battle in the healthcare setting. Lawmakers are speaking about it but we need to get this across the line.
Please support our healthcare professionals and sign this petition to tell current lawmakers and future lawmakers (it is an election year!) that our clinical warriors need the following:
1) Hazard Pay
2) Economic assistance such as paid time off (PTO), student loan interest waivers, loan forebearance, loan forgiveness, heatlhcare worker tax credits
3) Additional options include welfare protection in case laid off or furloughed.
