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.
