CDC's mission—healthy people in a healthy world, through prevention—could
never be accomplished by CDC alone. As a result, partnerships are integral
to almost every CDC activity. For example, through a collaborative effort
with the nation's schools, CDC has developed background materials on
epidemiology that teachers can incorporate into existing curriculums and
special events such as science contests. CDC works closely with private
sector partners such as employers, managed care organizations, faith-based
organizations, and business and industry representatives to help bring the
powerful potential of prevention to new audiences.
In the medical and health arenas, CDC participates with other partners in
setting quality assurance measures and making sure that preventive measures
are well represented. CDC also lends its expertise to investigations of
outbreaks here and abroad, working with partners around the world to
identify new and old health threats. A funder of interventions and
extramural research, CDC works closely with grantees to advance knowledge
and address critical community health issues, such as persistent racial
disparities in health outcomes.
With the help of partners in schools, hospitals, universities,
community-based organizations, workplaces, foundations, and many other
settings, CDC can make more significant contributions to the public's health
than it ever could alone.
