Description:CDC and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) are two of the 13 major operating components of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Since its inception in 1946, when CDC was charged with controlling malaria in the United States, the Agency has emerged as the most reputable source of public health information in the world. As the scope and breadth of CDC activities have grown, so has the workforce. From FY 1996 to the present, the number of employees has grown from 6,406 to 8,467, an increase of nearly 43 percent. The majority of employees work out of the Atlanta headquarters, but the Agency also has a major presence in diverse geographical areas such as Cincinnati, Ohio; Morgantown, West Virginia; Hyattsville, Maryland; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Washington, DC; Spokane, Washington; Durham, North Carolina; and, Fort Collins, Colorado. Additionally, CDC’s global presence continues to grow, with over 200 employees proposed to work overseas within the next year. CDC launched the Portfolio Management Project (PMP) aimed at fostering shared leadership, advances to achieve health goals, and strategic investment of CDC resources among state and local health agencies and other public health partners. CDC, in partnership with state and local public health leaders, has adopted the concept of portfolio management to improve the examination, assessment and management of its extramural investments in public health, to improve the alignment of the Agency’s investments to assist partners in meeting their most pressing state and local needs, and contribute towards maximizing health impact of public health interventions. To achieve these goals CDC placed resident Senior Management Officials (SMOs) to work directly with executive leadership teams of state health departments, and to serve as the CDC Director’s representative to the broader state public health community. To date, CDC has assigned 11 state management officials: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Washington, DC, Florida, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Washington. In 2003, CDC initiated the process of examining how we could improve our public health impact. The strategic development process involved listening to our public health partners, stakeholders and staff. As a result, the agency is implementing new technologies, new strategies and new goals to increase its positive impact on the health and quality of life for the people it serves.
