What is a HRSA region?
The term “HRSA region” refers to the ten standard federal regions through which the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) organizes and conducts its administrative activities. The 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the US territories are each assigned to a specific HRSA region. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary Federal agency for improving access to health care services for people who are uninsured, isolated or medically vulnerable. The Maternal and Child Health Bureau, which sponsors the NSCH and the NS-CSHCN, is one of five the HRSA bureaus. The ten standard Federal Regions were established by OMB (Office of Budget Management) Circular A-105, “Standard Federal Regions,” in April, 1974.
