CDC’s Office of Minority Health has been reorganized and is now CDC’s Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities (OMHD).  CDC’s new OMHD will maintain its current focus on racial and ethnic minority health, while incorporating new attention to other populations identified to be at-risk for health disparities.  

OMHD has launched a new home page http://www.cdc.gov/omhd/ .  The OMHD web site features information specific to racial and ethnic groups as well as other vulnerable populations, such as people with disabilities.  OMHD is working to incorporate more information specific to its newly designated populations over time.  Also available is information about specific health conditions, OMHD activities and functions, and materials related to eliminating health disparities.
