Collaboration
Since the beginning of this project 1999, DHHS agencies have played critical
roles in planning and coordinating policy initiatives. Partners
within HHS include the Office of the Secretary, the Office of Minority
Health (OMH), the Health Resource and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Administration
on Aging (AoA). In a monumental show of collaboration the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), National Center on Minority Health and Health
Disparities (NCMHD) contributes $5 million annually to support REACH 2010
projects.
Having become a visible and tangible sign of DHHS' commitment to
eliminate health disparities among racial and ethic minority populations,
REACH 2010 has attracted national attention. Both public and private
agencies have expressed interest in supporting or participating in the
REACH 2010 program. For example, the California Endowment (CE) through the
CDC Foundation, supports the implementation and evaluation of two
California coalitions located in San Diego and Garden Grove, addressing disparities
in breast and cervical cancer, and cardiovascular health.
