This is a timeline of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading national public health institute of the United States.


Big picture

Year/period Key developments
1950s First years of CDC, whose survival as an institution remains initially uncertain.[1] Beginning in the 1950s, CDC engineers begin work to improve public health while developing the fields of environmental health, industrial hygiene and control of air pollution.[2] Two major health crises concerning poliomyelitis and influenza are well managed by CDC in the mid-1950s establishes its credibility and ensures its survival.[1]
1980s In the 1980s, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is discovered and becomes primary emergency. One of the largest portions of CDC's budget and staff is assigned to address this disease.[1] Since the 1980s, CDC supports influenza surveillance and laboratory capacity globally.[3]
1990s CDC continues applying classic field-oriented epidemiology, and develops new methodologies. The disciplines of health economics and decision sciences merge to create prevention effectiveness, a new area of emphasis, as an approach for making more rational choices for public health interventions.[1]
21st century From 2007 to 2016 CDC would respond to over 20 crises each affecting over 10,000 people. From 2011 to 2016, CDC would deploy staff for over 380 missions in more than 40 countries to apply public health principles and epidemiologic science to mitigate the health impacts of complex emergencies.[3] Today, CDC is both the United States prevention agency and a global leader in public health.[1]
