October is #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth! Filipinos have made many significant contributions to our nation. In the late '60s and '70s, many Filipinos left their native country to help fill jobs within the U.S. health industry. Today, 20% of registered nurses in California are Filipino, and one in four Filipino adults in New York and New Jersey work in healthcare. This year, we’d like to thank our heroic Filipino American healthcare workers who work tirelessly to save lives... amidst a global pandemic. We’d also like to give a special thank you to someone close to the #AAAZATeam, Simon Flores Tongco, the son of our Administrator Milet Flores, for his tireless efforts as an ICU nurse. #FAHM2020
