  • Inform and educate people about public health, demonstrating its relevance and impact on their lives.
  • Educate middle–and high–school students and families about epidemiology and the science of public health; encourage young people to consider careers in the many disciplines that comprise the field of public health.
  • Serve as CDC′s “public” face to promote the past, present and future work of the agency.
