The issue of racial and ethnic health disparities has been on our radar screen in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for decades. But two seminal reports helped to advance the attention of the Department in this direction. The first was the 1979 Surgeon General’s Report on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, the first set of national health targets that formed the basis for the Healthy People 2000 initiative throughout the 1990s, and the Healthy People 2010 initiative for the current decade. The second was the Report of the Secretary’s Task Force on Black & Minority Health presented in August 1985 to then Secretary Margaret Heckler. Secretary Heckler had charged the Task Force to review and analyze the HHS’s programs and range of resources available to address the racial and ethnic health disparities that she characterized as “an affront to our ideals and to the ongoing genius of American medicine.”
