The measure would have enhanced the delivery of health care services. the training of health care professionals. and expanded health research and health data collection for minorities. The Minority Health Improvement Act of 1994 reauthorized and strengthened a number of expiring programs which comprise the core of our Federal strategy to promote minority health and reduce the disparity in health status and health access. I was particularly pleased with the provisions that provided for a 2year reauthorization of the Community and Migrant Health Centers Program. These centers serve to provide much needed primary care to thousands of our citizens in underserved areas of the country. I strongly supported this component of S. 1569.
