• Description:
  Summary of interview: Dr. Mark Hollis in a telephone interview in 1979 reflects on the transition of MCWA to CDC, of which he was the first director. He describes many meetings with early leaders of public health and tells of how CDC became the Communicable Disease Center, rather than an Institute like NIH. Included in his remarks are interesting asides about his impressions of others with whom he worked, their differences in approaches to public health, and ways in which they came to the decisions they did.
