• Description:
  In 2023, CDC’s Office of Health Equity (proposed) celebrates 35 years of “baking in” health equity to our public health work. “Baking in” health equity means that health equity principles are foundational ingredients in our work, rather than separate ingredients we layer in, sprinkle on top, or serve on the side. When health equity is “baked in” to public health, the programs, science, and policies we develop are fundamentally different from the status quo and get to the root causes of preventable health disparities. Learn more about some of the achievements and milestones that have played a role in the CDC’s efforts to reduce health disparities and create healthy lives for everyone.
