Retired Office of Minority and Women’s Health

The office, which was part of the former National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and Control of Infectious Diseases, has been incorporated into the newly formed National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), and is now called the Office of Health Disparities.
