Healing Heritage: Stories of Faith, Selflessness, and Service of Filipino Nurses

From the Healing Heritage Conference

This podcast episode features the live recording of “Healing Heritage: Stories of Faith, Selflessness, and Service of Filipino Nurses”—a landmark conference on April 11, 2025, that brought together Filipino nurses, researchers, clergy, and Asian American Christian faith leaders to explore the rich intersections of spirituality, culture, and healthcare. Rooted in the Healing Heritage project—the most ambitious and comprehensive initiative to date documenting the religious lives of Filipino nurses—this interdisciplinary, multi-institutional, and transnational gathering unfolded as a vital space of reflection, testimony, and communal discernment.

The recording captures the complete lectures and presentations that collectively illuminate the lived experiences of Filipino nurses, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event foregrounded deeply personal narratives that speak to broader themes of resilience, diasporic identity, sacrificial service, and the sustaining power of faith amid crisis.

Whether you are a theologian, medical practitioner, student, or curious listener, this episode offers a powerful portal into a community-led effort to reimagine the meaning of healing across spiritual and institutional terrains.
