What is the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)?

• A. A private clinic chain.
• B. A U.S. agency that improves health care access for underserved people.
• C. A multinational health insurer.
• D. A hospital equipment supplier.

Answer: (B)

HRSA is a U.S. federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services that works to expand access to quality health care for people who are uninsured, underinsured, or otherwise medically vulnerable. It funds and administers programs, supports the health care workforce, and provides services like community health centers and national programs to improve care in underserved areas. This is different from a private clinic chain, a multinational insurer, or a hospital equipment supplier, none of which describe a federal agency whose role is to fund and coordinate access to care for those in need.
