In 1987, the Office of Minority Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, established the Office of Minority Health Resource Center (OMHRC) to meet the public's need for reliable, accurate, and timely information and technical assistance on health issues affecting minority populations. Since that time, OMHRC has grown to become one of the nation's largest sources of minority health information. In 1996, OMHRC developed it's World Wide Web site. It contains information on minority health statistics, funding opportunities, conferences, legislative action in Congress, publications, and links to other useful Web sites. The site features key word and subject search engines in an easy-to-use format. Over 52,000 abstracts from the Center's Health Materials database is available online. Visitors can electronically join the mailing list to receive a free information packet containing a wealth of information on minority health. Trained information specialists can also help visitors find data and statistics, funding, mailing labels and lists, research programs, organizations and literature, and link visitors to members of OMH's Resource Persons Network. OMHRC's target populations are African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaska Natives. All resource center services are free and can be obtained by calling its toll-free number, 800-444-6472. The Technology Games will begin at 6:30
