Safeguarding America’s Health:

CDC Priorities and FY 2014 Budget Request
CDC is the nation’s
health protection agency.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
work 24/7 to keep America safe from health, safety,
and security threats – both foreign and domestic.
Funding CDC’s 2014 President’s budget request for
$6.6 billion will enable CDC to continue to fulfill its
important mission of protecting Americans’ health.
A new illness can start at home or abroad. A disease
may be chronic (like diabetes) or acute (like the flu).
An outbreak of infection could be due to human
error or deliberate attack. CDC fights all of these health
threats—and supports communities and citizens to
do the same.
CDC scientists, disease detectives, and partners work
around the world to track the spread of disease, investigate
outbreaks, and respond to health emergencies of all kinds.

CDC Leadership
Thomas R. Frieden, MD, MPH, became Director of the CDC
and Administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) in June 2009. Dr. Frieden began
his career with CDC in 1990 and has been at the forefront
of innovative efforts to prevent disease and disability
around the world.

CDC works to keep
Americans healthy.
The CDC’s major goals are to:
• Protect Americans from
infectious diseases.
• Prevent the leading causes of
disease, disability, and death.
• Protect Americans from natural
and bioterrorism threats.
• Monitor health and ensure
laboratory excellence.
• Keep Americans safe from
environmental and work-related
hazards.
• Ensure global disease protection.
