This article focuses on the role of Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC), Office of Minority and Women's Health (OMWH), and their legislative mission to enhance the health status of underserved and vulnerable women and their children; to briefly review some of the background data on the medically underserved and the particular status of women of color within that population; to identify a series of questions to help frame the policy dialogue for developing services to medically underserved women of color; and to invite dialogue, feedback, and participation with social workers around a number of these key questions and issues that can help guide our collective vision and health care initiatives for the medically underserved over the next several years. One of the most significant problems for underserved populations is their inability to obtain health care services in the marketplace. The major disparities in health care that pervade the lives of medically underserved women of color, their families, and communities have plagued the United States and all health care professions for decades. Medically underserved women need the human services professions to assist in removing fundamental barriers that restrict their ability to maintain their health, the health of their families, and their communities. Part of that responsibility rests with BPHC and OMWH. |
