The Office of Minority Health Resource Center was established by
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health
in 1987. OMH-RC serves as a national resource and referral service on
minority health issues.
The center collects and distributes information on a wide variety of
health topics, including substance abuse, cancer, heart disease, violence,
diabetes, HIV/AIDS and infant mortality. The Resource Center also
facilitates the exchange of information on minority health issues.
Unlike a clearinghouse, OMH-RC offers customized database searches,
publications, mailing lists, referrals, and more regarding American Indian
and Alaska Native, African American, Asian American and Pacific Islander,
and Hispanic populations.
Information resources on minority health include databases (funding,
media, research, data, and listings of volunteer resource persons) as well
as scientific reports, journals, and documents. OMH-RC services are free,
and can be obtained by calling toll-free 1-800-444-6472. Or send
e-mail to mailto:info@omhrc.gov, or if hearing impaired, call our TDD line at 301-230-7199.
