According to a report in 2017, "females represent the majority in 25 of the 30 health occupations". This report was produced to " evaluate HHS initiatives aimed at increasing diversity, thereby supporting Goal II of the HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities Action Plan: Strengthen the Nation’s Health and Human Services Infrastructure and Workforce.10"
"Whites make up the majority of the U.S. workforce (64.4 percent) compared to Hispanics (16.1 percent), Blacks or African Americans (11.6 percent), Asians (5.3 percent), and individuals reporting Multiple and Other races (1.8 percent)" and "The occupations in which Whites are most underrepresented are Nursing, Psychiatric and Home Health Aides (46.8 percent); and "Compared to our January 2015 report, there have been minor improvements in minority group representation in the health occupations, with a small decrease of White individuals in every occupation"
that is, whites were already slightly underrepresented in the healthcare workforce (64%) as a proportion of the 2017 population (76%), where as hispanics (18.5%) and blacks (13.4%) were within 2% of their respective proportion of the 2017 population.
NO doubt the trend continued through 2020.
She means start burning down the hospital, just like the rest of the buildings in America.
Does that mean you are going to bring in a bunch of Mexicans through the back door?
What is missing in health care personnel diversity? More USA born white people? Honest question.
When the Left says ‘looks like America’ they mean must not look white, or minimally so.
What, is she asking us to reduce the number of our doctors with lineage that traces back to India?
equitable...
so everyone dies at the same rates Kammy...?
So 70% White?
How about TV commercials?
The medical fields are begging for workers so if there are not enough workers of one type to satisfy Harris perhaps it is because they don’t want to get the training to get those jobs.
I believe in equal opportunity not equal results.
Individuals like Harris are the real racist in our nation.
Tell me again why the southern border is wide open and illiterate illegals are flooding in....
Yeah, I want my brain surgeon to be someone who qualified by some loser-imposed political criteria instead of by merit.
In my local hospital, the workforce “looks like the UN.” During my 25-day “vacation” this summer, I had staff obviously American-born, African, Chinese, Latin American... I had one nurse from Bosnia. I had American doctors, a couple of Italian doctors (born in Italy), an Iranian doctor, one of my regular doctors is from some Middle Eastern country.
So, I don’t know what the kamel toe ho is going on about.
So is the racial percentage breakdown local, regional? Say if a hospital is in a town that is populated with mostly people from India, but neighboring towns are not. Will the staff directly represent the race percentages of that town or the region that hospital serves? Same goes for urgent care centers, local racial percentages? If there’s more than one urgent care in a town, will the racial makeup of the staff reflect the neighborhood?
Absolutely ridiculous, just give me someone who’s good at their work.
...because looks (what’s on the surface) are all the matter to liberals - not substance.
This is the ‘thinking’ that’s celebrated today by untold millions of low-info voters.
This reminds me of the old Sanford and Son TV show in which Fred goes to a dentist but wants a WHITE dentist to work on him, believing whites were better educated in the medical field.

I am also reminded of a Charles Addams cartoon of an African Witch Doctor dressed as a white surgeon while doing his dance.

ORR — Obligatory Racial Reference.
Kamala is correct, we need to have every profession filled by the exact percentage of each racial and ethnic group that exists in this nation. We definetly need more Asians in professional sports, especially as football linemen and on professional basketball teams. (sarcasm)
Relief package to tackle the shortage of health care workers.
Let me guess the millions of illegals who crossed the border find job no?.
