TIME names Sen. John Fetterman as one of the most influential people in health

DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — TIME has now featured Sen. John Fetterman in their "Time100Health" section following the ways he combatted difficulties brought on by his stroke in 2022.

According to the article, TIME is celebrating Fetterman for how he "embraced technology as a means of adaptation," using his iPhone to "showcase a transcription app at a Senate Aging Committee hearing in September."

The senator then went on to express to the committee how transcription services helped him carry out his duties as senator.

The article continued on, stating how Fetterman's openness about his depression also helped shine a light on mental health awareness:

In a world where vulnerability is often perceived as weakness, Fetterman’s willingness to share his story and check himself into a hospital to receive treatment for depression without resigning his role has served as a beacon of courage and resilience.
