Health Protection Goals
CDC is committed to achieving true improvements in people’s lives by accelerating the impact of positive health practices and reducing health disparities. A set of four overarching Health Protection Goals has been created and are supported by a number of CDC strategic goals and objectives. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/osi/goals/.
All people, and especially those at greater risk of health disparities, will achieve their optimal lifespan with the best possible quality of health in every stage of life.
People in all communities will be protected from infectious, occupational, environmental, and terrorist threats.
The places where people live, work, learn, and play will protect and promote their health and safety, especially those people at greater risk of health disparities.
People around the world will live safer, healthier, and longer lives through health promotion, health protection, and health diplomacy.
