In September 2000, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office on Women's Health (OWH) implemented the National Community Centers of Excellence in Women's Health (CCOE) program in partnership with the DHHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) Office of Minority and Special Populations (formerly the Office of Minority and Women's Health). The intent of the CCOE program is to integrate, coordinate, and strengthen linkages between programs and activities that already exist in the community to improve service delivery to underserved women. The coordination of these activities should reduce fragmentation in women's health services. Community- based organizations serve as the hub for the implementation of this new model of care. (Federal Register, Volume 66, Number 14). Currently, 12 CCOEs serve underserved communities across the United States in locations ranging from densely populated urban settings to very rural and isolated communities.
