Abstract: "The Department of Health and Human Services is the Cabinet-level department of the Federal executive branch most concerned with people and most involved with the Nation's human concerns. In one way or another--whether it is mailing out Social Security checks or making health services more widely available--HHS touches the lives of more Americans than any other Federal agency. It is literally a department of people serving people, from newborn infants to our most elderly citizens."

Purpose: Selected publications of this and other United States government agencies are available through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The index to the publications available through the FDLP is the Monthly Catalog of United States Government Publications (MOCAT), which also includes ordering information for those publications available for sale. Many publications are available to the public in the approximately 1300 Federal depository libraries throughout the United States. See also data in this record for Access Constraints and User Constraints, where such limitations on this agency's publications are appropriate.

Agency Program: "The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was created on April 11, 1953 (5 U.S.C. app.). The Department was redesignated as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), effective May 4, 1980, by the Department of Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C. 3508)."
