Centers For Disease Control and Prevention

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 our mission, CDC conducts critical science and provides health information that protects our nation against expensive and dangerous health threats, and responds when these arise.

The CDC is on the cutting edge of health security – confronting global disease threats through advanced computing and lab analysis of huge amounts of data to quickly find solutions:

• Putting science into action – tracking disease and finding out what is making people sick and the most effective ways to prevent it.
• Helping medical care – bringing new knowledge to individual health care and community health to save more lives and reduce waste.
• Fighting diseases before they reach borders – detecting and confronting new germs and diseases around the globe to increase our national security.
• Nurturing public health – building on significant contribution to have strong, well-resourced public health leaders and capabilities at national, state and local levels to protect Americans from health threats.
