Veterans' Health Activities
Since its inception, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been involved in
protecting the health of U.S. military personnel and veterans. In
fact, CDC was established to address concerns about malaria among our
troops during World War II. In more recent years, CDC's National
Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) has taken the lead in addressing
the health concerns of veterans of the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, and
NCEH is working with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to
protect the health of our future military forces. NCEH’s ongoing
and completed activities in these areas are described below.
