CDC Organization

» Official Mission Statements/Organizational Charts

The CDC is one of the major operating components of the Department of Health and Human Services.

CDC′s top organizational components include the Office of the Director, six Coordinating Centers and Offices, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health:

The Office of the Director (OD) manages and directs the activities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; provides overall direction to, and coordination of, the scientific/medical programs of CDC; and provides leadership, coordination, and assessment of administrative management activities.


Coordinating Centers/Offices allow the CDC to be more responsive and effective when dealing with public health concerns. Each Coordinating Center/Office implements CDC′s response in their areas of expertise, while also providing intra-agency support and resource-sharing for cross-cutting issues and specific health threats.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) ensures safety and health for all people in the workplace through research and prevention.
