About CDC
Saving Lives, Protecting People TM
CDC is the nation’s leading science-based, data-driven, service organization that protects the public’s health. For more than 70 years, we’ve put science into action to help children stay healthy so they can grow and learn; to help families, businesses, and communities fight disease and stay strong; and to protect the public’s health.
CDC Strategic Plan 2022-2027
Advancing Science and Health Equity
On January 21, 2020 CDC launched its agency wide response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been the largest response to any disease outbreak in CDC’s history.
A diverse public health workforce ensures we have the capacity to address complex diseases and swiftly respond to new threats.
As the reference laboratory for the world, CDC must ensure that its laboratories are at the state-of-the-art in science, quality, and safety.
Quickly respond to outbreaks at their source, both domestic and abroad.
