Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

About

CDC is one of the major operating components of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). View CDC’s Official Mission Statements/Organizational Charts to learn more about CDC′s organizational structure.

CDC works 24/7 to protect America from health, safety, and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or preventable, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities and citizens to do the same.

CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats. To accomplish its mission, CDC conducts critical science and provides health information that protects our nation against expensive and dangerous health threats, and responds when these arise. Source: CDC
