Message from the Director

In 1985, a group of committed leaders at the U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services (HHS), convened by then HHS

Secretary Margaret M. Heckler, documented a

startling and growing public health concern

- the significant extent of health disparities

among the nation's racial and ethnic minority

groups. These inequalities unnecessarily

claimed the lives of 60,000 Americans each

year, which Secretary Heckler called "an

affront both to our ideals and to the ongoing

genius of American medicine."

Their first-ever comprehensive federal study of minority health was released that same year. The Report ofthe Secretary's Task

Force on Black and Minority Health (also

known as the Heckler Report), marked the

beginning of a new era to improve minority

health, beginning with the creation of the

HHS Office of Minority Health in 1 986. Recommended actions for reducing racial and ethnic health disparities and the work

that followed helped lay the groundwork for monumental changes in policy, programs,

research, data and legislation, and continue to

influence transformative action today, such as the landmark Affordable Care Act.

Pocket Guide to Minority Health Resources 5
Over the past three decades, we have made

important strides in addressing health

disparities. However, despite our nation's progress, racial and ethnic minorities still experience worse health status and outcomes

than non-Hispanic whites. And that means

that our work is not done. This year, as we

commemorate the 30th anniversary of the

HHS Office of Minority Health, we have an unprecedented opportunity to continue

reshaping the health of our nation. Together, we can accelerate momentum toward

reducing disparities in health and health care and advancing health equity.

We can accelerate the momentum created

by the Affordable Care Act to provide access

to affordable, quality coverage and care to

millions of Americans, including millions of people of color. We can accelerate the

progress made through the HHS Action

Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health

Disparities to promote integrated approaches

and promising practices to reduce health

disparities. And through the National

Partnership for Action to End Health

Disparities and its National Stakeholder

Strategy for Achieving Health Equity, we can

accelerate health equity in every community

across the nation working with our dedicated

partners.

6 Pocket Guide to Minority Health Resources
The HHS Office of Minority Health is pleased

to bring you this special 30th anniversary

edition of the Pocket Guide to Minority

Health Resources, which is available to you

both in print and online for the first time in

its production history. Over the years, the

Pocket Guide has been a valued resource

to community organizations; public health; health care and social services professionals;

institutions of higher education; advocates;

and consumers in sharing knowledge

and building partnerships to tackle the

most challenging of issues around health

disparities. We hope this guide will continue

to support the work you do in communities to promote health and well-being.

Throughout this year and beyond, we look

forward to working with you to continue to advance health equity for all Americans.

Sincerely,

J. Nadine Gracia, MD, MSCE

Who we are

The HHS Office of Minority Health was created

in 1 986 to improve the health of racial and

ethnic minority populations through the

development of health policies and programs

that will help eliminate health disparities.

Our strategic priorities include:

• Support the development and

implementation of the provisions of

the Affordable Care Act that address

disparities and equity. By improving

access to affordable, quality health care for

all Americans, the Affordable Care Act is helping to reduce health disparities, bring

down health care costs, promote prevention

and wellness, and give individuals and

families more control over their own care.

• Lead the implementation of the HHS

Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic

Health Disparities. The HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities outlines goals and actions HHS is taking to reduce health disparities among racial and

ethnic minorities. The Office of Minority

Health is leading the charge to put the HHS

Disparities Action Plan into practice across HHS agencies and offices.

Pocket Guide to Minority Health Resources 13
• Coordinate the National Partnership for

Action to End Health Disparities (NPA)

and the National Stakeholder Strategy

for Achieving Health Equity. NPA reaches out to the grassroots level to mobilize a nationwide, comprehensive, communitydriven and sustained approach toward

combating health disparities. The National

Stakeholder Strategy for Achieving Health

Equity provides a common set of goals and

objectives for public and private sector partnerships to help racial and ethnic

minorities and underserved groups reach

their full health potential.

Why we exist

Racial and ethnic minorities - including

Blacks and African Americans, Hispanics/

Latinos, American Indians and Alaska Natives,

Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and

Pacific Islanders - continue to experience worse health status and outcomes than

non-Hispanic whites in the United States. Minorities are less likely to get the preventive

care needed to stay healthy, less likely to

receive quality care, and more likely to suffer from serious illnesses and higher rates of

death across many health conditions.

Health disparities among racial and ethnic

minorities are often linked to social, economic

or environmental disadvantages, such

14 Pocket Guide to Minority Health Resources
as poverty, lack of access to high quality

education, unemployment, unhealthy

housing, unsafe neighborhoods, and

lack of affordable transportation options.

These conditions are known as the social determinants of health. The HHS Office of Minority Health's programs,

policies and practices address such

factors, with the goal of affording minority

communities an opportunity to live a long,

healthy and productive life, and to improve

the overall quality of health for minority

populations.

What we do

The HHS Office of Minority Health addresses

disease prevention, health promotion, risk reduction, healthier lifestyle choices, use of

I health care services, and barriers to health

care for racial and ethnic minorities. Core

functions to implement our mission include:

• Increasing awareness and understanding

of the major health problems and needs of

racial and ethnic minorities and the nature and extent of health disparities;

1 • Promoting the collection of health data

by racial and ethnic categories and

strengthening infrastructures for data

collection; Pocket Guide to Minority Health Resources 15
• Establishing and strengthening networks,

coalitions, and partnerships to identify

and solve health problems and concerns

affecting racial and ethnic minorities;

• Developing and promoting policies,

programs, and practices to reduce health

disparities and achieve health equity;

• Fostering research, scientific investigations,

and evaluation of interventions aimed at improving the health of racial and ethnic

minorities; and

• Funding demonstration programs at the

national, regional, state, tribal, territorial and local levels to determine model

approaches, promising practices and

program and intervention effectiveness to improve minority health and reduce health

disparities.

Regional staff: OMH is supported in the

field by Regional Minority Health Consultants

(RMHC) at each of the 10 HHS Regional

Offices, who help build regional networks

of consumers and professionals working on

minority health. Funding and programs: In addition, OMH

provides funding in support of efforts to reduce racial and ethnic health disparities

and advance health equity to state offices 16 Pocket Guide to Minority Health Resources
of minority health, multicultural health,

and health equity; community- and faith- based organizations; institutions of higher

education; tribes and tribal organizations; and

other organizations dedicated to improving

health. Culturally and linguistically appropriate

services: OMH is committed to culturally and

linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) that ensure the needs of minority communities

are integrated and addressed within healthrelated services and programs across the

nation. Developed by OMH, the National

Standards for Culturally and Linguistically

Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care (National CLAS Standards) aim to improve quality, advance health equity,

and help eliminate health disparities by

establishing a blueprint for organizations

to serve the nation's increasingly diverse

individuals and communities. For information

and resources on culturally and linguistically

appropriate services, visit OMH's Think

Cultural Health website at www.ThinkCulturalHealth.hhs.gov.

Office of Minority Health Resource Center

(OMHRC): OMHRC is a one-stop source

for minority health literature, research

and referrals for consumers, community

organizations and health professionals. As

the nation's largest repository of information on health issues specific to racial and

ethnic minorities, OMHRC offers a variety of

information resources, from access to online

document collections to database searches

to customized responses to requests for information and technical assistance. OMHRC

supports the mission and work of the Office of Minority Health. For further information:

Health and Human Services (HHS): Agency

for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ),

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid

Services (CMS), Food and Drug Administration

(FDA), Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA), and Substance Abuse

and Mental Health Services Administration

(SAMHSA).The law also reauthorized and

strengthened the authorities of the HHS Office of Minority Health, as well as redesignated the

National Center on Minority Health and Health

Disparities to a NIH Institute - the National

Institute on Minority Health and Health

Disparities (NIMHD).

These offices and institute join the HHS Office

of Minority Health to lead and coordinate

activities that improve the health of racial and

ethnic minority populations, reduce health

disparities, and advance health equity.
