Health Resources and Services Administration

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is the primary federal agency ensuring that millions of Americans can access quality healthcare regardless of their ability to pay. As part of the Department of Health and Human Services, HRSA improves access to care for people who are uninsured, geographically isolated, or medically vulnerable. Through 90+ programs and partnerships with thousands of providers, HRSA delivers healthcare directly to tens of millions of Americans while supporting the health infrastructure that keeps communities healthy.

Finding Affordable Healthcare

HRSA operates extensive networks of community health centers and clinics that provide comprehensive primary care, preventive services, and low-cost dental care to underserved communities. If you need healthcare, start by finding HRSA health centers near you. For those unable to visit in person, telehealth services connect you to care from home.

Services for Specific Populations

HRSA targets support to vulnerable populations with specialized programs. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program provides comprehensive services for people living with HIV. HRSA also operates specialized clinics for workers with black lung disease and maintains the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to support those harmed by vaccination. Additionally, HRSA manages poison control resources.

Support for Healthcare Professionals and Rural Communities

To build a stronger healthcare workforce in underserved areas, HRSA offers programs that train and support health professionals. The National Health Service Corps offers loan repayment for providers who serve areas with limited access to care. HRSA also improves health in rural communities and oversees organ donation and transplantation systems.
