CDC Foundation at Aspen Ideas: Health 2024
Effective responses to public health threats require effective partnerships between public health and the private sector, creating both a healthier population and a more robust bottom line.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) brings together the public health community, businesses, medical groups, governments and others to protect our health, livelihoods and economy. At the CDC Foundation, we help CDC and the public health community do more, faster, through collaboration. Together we share the belief that investing in public health today means spending less tomorrow, protecting our economy and ensuring a safe and healthy society.
This year, the CDC Foundation participated in Aspen Ideas: Health—engaging with leaders and changemakers committed to creating a safer and healthier world.
