• Description:
  This Special Edition of Dateline: CDC Celebrates an Institution and an Individual.
  
  The Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service was established by Congress on Jan. 4, 1889, to prevent the interstate transmission of diseases. Today, Commissioned Corps officers work for all seven agencies of the Public Health Service.
  
  Dr. Joseph Mountin, himself a Commissioned Corps officer, envisioned in 1946 the "Centers of Excellence" that turned a wartime malaria control effort into today's Centers for Disease Control which combines talents of the Commissioned Corps with those of its civilian employees. These stories illustrate some of their combined disease fighting efforts.
  
  This edition of Dateline: CDC was written by Anne Mather and edited by Mary Guinan, M.D., Ph.D., assistant director for science.
