Public Health Informatics Institute

🎉 A huge thank you to the CDC subject matter experts whose expertise and partnership have helped PHII create public health resources on everything from data modernization to immunization information systems (IIS)!

This is 80.
Today marks 80 years since CDC officially opened its doors.
On July 1, 1946, the Communicable Disease Center began on one floor of a small building in Atlanta with a mission to help stop malaria from spreading across the nation.
Since then, generations of public health professionals have helped respond to disease outbreaks, public health emergencies, and other health challenges working every day to help people live longer, healthier lives.
This anniversary isn't just about looking back. It's an opportunity to explore the people, milestones, and moments that have shaped CDC's history and the nation's public health over the past 80 years.
Throughout the year, we'll share stories, historic photos, and milestones from CDC's journey. We hope you'll follow along as we look back at where it all began and the mission that continues today.
