The newest section of CDC’s campus, which includes CDC’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC), is visible from this viewpoint. The EOC coordinates responses to health crises such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the 2014 Ebola outbreak and the 2015-2016 Flint, MI, lead contaminated water concern. To the far right is CDC Parkway, leading to CDC’s public entrance and the David J. Sencer CDC Museum, where you can learn about the history of CDC and view exhibitions about public health issues.

CDC works 24/7 to save lives and protect America from health and safety threats, whether these occur here in the U.S. or stopping them around the world. CDC increases the health security of our nation by putting science and advanced technology into action to prevent and reduce disease. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or preventable, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities, and those who live in them, to do the same.

Looking forward, CDC will continue to build new facilities to accommodate the growing demands from diseases that threaten Americans’ health and to continue its role as the world’s leading health protection agency.
