Heartbroken. We all are heartbroken. To Dr. Breen's family and friends and our colleagues at Allen, we are with you. "She was always the physician who was looking out for other people’s health and well-being." Dr. Breen is a hero.

Top E.R. Doctor Who Treated Virus Patients Dies by Suicide (Published 2020)

“She tried to do her job, and it killed her,” said the father of Dr. Lorna M. Breen, who worked at a Manhattan hospital hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak.
