Cdc.org is the official website of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The site’s primary purpose is to educate people about health and disease issues, with articles with all sorts of recent topics, including information on the recent salmonella outbreaks as up to date as January 12th. The site has dozens of different sections, including emergency preparedness and response, travelers’ health, workplace safety and health, healthy living, and diseases and conditions. In the “About CDC” section, you can look at the CDC’s current organization, its funding and budget, and at information on employment at the CDC. On the right, you can find links to CDC publications, and directly above that are useful data and statistics. You can also use the search function to find articles on other topics, or you can search alphabetically.

Cdc.org is a useful resource for keeping up to date with all United States health issues and recommendations, since the CDC is a government agency and has access to all the latest information. The site is visited by a primarily female, older audience, and people who view the site also often go to other health news and information websites, other government websites, and science and nature websites.
