When Evelyn Legarte migrated from the Philippines to the Bay Area in 1980, she was part of a growing number of Filipinos that now make up about 20% of nurses in California. As the holidays approach, we want to acknowledge the many Filipino nurses on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic who are caring for people like theyâve done in past public health crises. This episode originally ran on May 22, 2020.
Guest: Evelyn Legarte, retired Bay Area nurseÂ
