For the 20th year in a row, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has reported on healthcare quality and disparities. The National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report presents trends for measures related to access to care, affordable care, care coordination, effective treatment, healthy living, patient safety, and person-centered care.
The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) provides equitable health care to the nation’s highest-need communities. Our programs support people with low incomes, people with HIV, pregnant people, children, parents, rural communities, transplant patients, and the health workforce.
Health statistics are increasingly important in measuring the nation’s overall well-being. The Census Bureau provides accurate, detailed, and up-to-date statistics—covering people and businesses—relating to health in America.
The Health Equity Tracker from the Satcher Health Leadership Institute aims to address health disparities in the United States by identifying at-risk populations and highlighting data inequities. By providing policymakers, community leaders, and researchers the data they need to make informed decisions, this scalable, feature-rich platform supports efforts to achieve health equity and justice for all.
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) is one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation's premier medical research agency. NIMHD's work touches the lives of millions of Americans burdened by disparities in health status and healthcare delivery, including racial and ethnic minority groups, rural populations, populations with low socioeconomic status, and other population groups.
