The Website provides the following links to…
  • 4 major formularies in Hawaii
  • HMSA

  • AlohaCare
  • Medicaid FFS

The Minority Health Archive

From the University of Pittsburgh
Center for Minority Health, Graduate School of Public Health

The Minority Health Archive, created in collaboration with the Center for Minority Health and the University Library System at the University of Pittsburgh, is an online archive of print and electronic media related to the health of the four nationally recognized minority groups: Blacks/African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders . The Minority Health Archive provides the opportunity not only to research and gather documents in a variety of subject areas, but also serves as a resource to deposit other related materials not already posted to the archive.
