Filipino American Health

Advocates highlight how factors like colonial history contributed to likely disproportionate Covid toll on the community.

The group has a disproportionate number of nurses, health care workers and families living in multigenerational homes.

Filipino Americans account for 4% of the nurses in the U.S. but about 25% of COVID-19 deaths among nurses. Some are leaving the profession.
