What are the four goals of the CDC?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) aims to protect public health through four primary goals: 1) preventing and controlling diseases and health conditions, 2) promoting healthy behaviors and environments, 3) preparing for and responding to public health emergencies, and 4) improving health systems and policies to enhance community health. These goals guide the CDC's efforts in research, education, and collaboration to ensure the well-being of communities nationwide.
