Jacob Fitisemanu has been managing the Health Clinics of Utah, which are being shut down by the government as its finances are battered by the virus.
He said the clinics were for the under-served, those without health insurance or who faced other barriers.
Pacific Islanders were contracting Covid-19 at four times the overall rate in Utah and Mr Fitisemanu said cutting clinic access in the midst of a pandemic was not a good decision.
It would meant 13,000 active patients would have to find a new medical home, he said.
