Health Resources and Services Administration

The Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA's) mission is to improve and expand access to quality health care and eliminate health disparities for all Americans.

HRSA assures the availability of quality health care to low-income, uninsured, isolated, vulnerable, and special needs populations and meets their unique health care needs. Through its four key program areas, HRSA directs programs that improve the Nation's health by expanding access to comprehensive, quality health care for all Americans.

Partnership Activities

CDC collaborates with HRSA's Bureau of Primary Care to aid in the sponsorship of the East Coast, Midwest, and Western Farmworker Stream Forums. These annual forums began in 1987 on the East Coast focusing on improving health care delivery to migrant and seasonal farmworkers by providing workshops for health professionals and others who work with the population. Through exhibits, lectures, and interactive workshops, the Stream Forums increase cultural competence of migrant health providers, create networking and collaboration opportunities, and help participants identify additional resources, program models, and effective training.

CDC also provides supplemental funding to support a series of collaboratives designed to develop and implement quality improvement in cancer screening. These collaboratives provide resources and technical assistance to improve cancer screening and referral practices in Community and Migrant Health Centers.
