Office of Minority Health is under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of health and human services
In 1985, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a landmark report, the Secretary's Task Force Report on Black and Minority Health (Heckler Report).
It documented the existence of health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities in the United States. The Office of Minority Health (OMH) was created in 1986 as one of the most significant outcomes of the Heckler Report and was reauthorized by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010.
The mission of OMH is to improve the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of health policies and programs that will eliminate health disparities. In addition to the great work being done at OMH to address disease prevention, health promotion, risk reduction, healthier lifestyle choices, the use of health care services, and barriers to health care for racial and ethnic minorities, they also provide access to a wealth of resources for the public.
