  Although established as a center in October 2013, the seeds of the CSELS story are as old as CDC itself. Some of CDC’s earliest flagship programs were focused on tracking and investigating disease outbreaks, mobilizing to protect the public during health threats, keeping the public informed about a health crisis, and training the professionals who do this work. These programs have been part of CDC in one form or another throughout its history.
  
  In 2015, CSELS completed a reorganization that brought many of these historic programs together to function as a unified package. Combined with new programs that reflect the changing landscape of science and medicine, CSELS provides the support structure for much of our nation’s health system.
