Description:Alexander Langmuir became the first Chief Epidemiologist at CDC (then called the Communicable Disease Center) in 1949. One of his many enduring contributions to the agency and to public health was to engineer the transfer in 1961 of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) from its former home at the National Office of Vital Statistics to CDC. This supplement to MMWR celebrates the anniversary of its arrival at CDC and the 50‐year contribution it has made to CDC and public health. Langmuir had the foresight to envision the revitalization of the decades‐old publication, not only to enable CDC to share its work with the nation, but also to influence the practice and impact of public health throughout the world. This supplement celebrates MMWR through perspectives on how public health has changed during the past 50 years. Articles in this issue reflect on how the focus of public health has expanded from communicable disease to also include a broad array of acute and chronic public health challenges.
