Description:The principal responsibility of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is to see to it that primary health care services and qualified health personnel and facilities are available to all Americans, particularly the disadvantaged and the underserved. HRSA's resources are directed toward not only the most financially, functionally, and culturally vulnerable segments of the population but also to those who have significant clinical needs such as pregnant women, children, those infected with HIV. The Agency seeks to carry out its mission in many ways. The central approach, however, is to assure the availability of services to its constituencies directly or indirectly through the more than 50 programs it administers. This article explains HRSA's role in detail and cites its many ramifications for the nation's health in the 1990s.
