CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden

Dr. Frieden

So much has changed in the world since the CDC was founded in 1946. We have had to find new ways to carry out our mission and meet new threats head–on, whether a terrorist attack or the next global epidemic of an infectious disease. As we look forward to the coming years, we will continue to serve as the nation’s health protection agency, working 24/7 to save lives and protect people.

Spotlight: Quitting Smoking

Tips Campaign Two–thirds of tobacco users want to quit, but fewer than one in 10 succeed each year. However, advice from doctors can double or triple the odds that someone will quit for good. Doctors, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurses, and all healthcare providers need to play a critical role in helping tobacco users quit.
