Foundation recognizes hospitals as well-being champions

The Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation recognized 42 licensure boards and 521 hospitals for changing invasive and stigmatizing mental health questions in their licensing applications. The 521 hospitals represent a 39% increase in organizations that have made such changes since September 2024. The Foundation encourages hospitals to use its licensing and credentialing toolkit to audit and change their applications and forms to eliminate intrusive mental health questions. This change can remove barriers that keep providers from accessing mental health services. (Dr. Lorna Breen Foundation news release, 2/26/25)
