    The Department of Health and Human Services is the Cabinet-level
    department of the Federal executive branch most involved with the
    Nation's human concerns. In one way or another, it touches the lives of
    more Americans than any other Federal agency. It is literally a
    department of people serving people, from newborn infants to persons
    requiring health services to our most elderly citizens.
    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was created as the
    Department of Health, Education, and Welfare on April 11, 1953 (5 U.S.C.
    app.).
    Secretary  The Secretary of Health and Human Services advises the
    President on health, welfare, and income security plans, policies, and
    programs of the Federal Government; and directs Department staff in
    carrying out the approved programs and activities of the Department and
    promotes general public understanding of the Department's goals,
    programs, and objectives.
    Public Health and Science  The Office ensures that the Department
    conducts broad-based public health assessments designed to anticipate
    future public health issues and problems and devises and implements
    appropriate interventions and evaluations to maintain, sustain, and
    improve the health of the Nation; provides assistance in managing the
    implementation and coordination of Secretarial decisions for the Public
    Health Service (PHS) and coordination of population-based health,
    clinical preventive services, and science initiatives that cut across
    operating divisions; provides presentations on international health
    issues; and provides direction and policy oversight, through the Surgeon
    General, for the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
