Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services dedicated to improving health outcomes and achieving health equity through access to quality services, a skilled health workforce, and innovative programs. HRSA is a pivotal funding agent for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in healthcare, supporting initiatives that increase access to healthcare in underserved communities, enhance the diversity of the medical workforce, and address the social determinants of health. Their programs specifically focus on supporting health facilities in rural and urban areas lacking adequate services, training healthcare providers to meet the needs of diverse populations, and improving health systems that serve minority and economically disadvantaged communities. HRSA’s commitment to DEI is reflected in their broad range of grants and collaborations aimed at eliminating health disparities and promoting inclusive health practices across the nation.
