• Description:
  As part of the Department of Health and Human Services, CDC/ATSDR spearheads the nation’s response to the leading causes of death, illness, and disability, which include HIV/AIDS, infectious diseases, injuries, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, birth defects, environmental hazards, and obesity. To be prepared for our increasingly varied, complex responsibilities to the nation—including public health preparedness for terrorism, health promotion and disease prevention, and responding to new and emerging diseases and crises—CDC’s management aggressively works to strengthen our leadership and management.
  
  We know we have been successful in the past. According to results from the Gallup organization’s September 2003 Governance Survey, the American people approve of CDC’s performance and reputation. When asked to rate the performance of eight federal government agencies, 66% of those surveyed said CDC was doing an excellent or good job. Moreover, CDC was the highest rated of these eight federal agencies.
  
  Although we take pride in this public acknowledgement of our efforts to serve the country effectively, we are challenging ourselves to do better. We have established an Executive Leadership Team and a Management Council to enhance our focus on excellence in science, service, systems, strategy, and security and to foster an increase in excellence at all levels of our agency.
  
  In tandem with those efforts, during 2003 we launched the Futures Initiative to ensure that CDC will be a revitalized, focused agency that can meet the public health challenges of coming generations. A key component of this outside-in initiative involves reaching out to our traditional partners, identifying potential new partners, seeking ideas from the public, and soliciting input from our staff. We are creatively examining our priorities, our systems, and our practices now to ensure this cultural transformation enables us to provide even better service to our constituents.
  
  The services that we provide to the American public are made possible by our annual operating budget. The President’s Fiscal Year 2005 Budget Request for CDC and ATSDR represents the best application of resources to support our myriad public health programs during the next fiscal year.
