Featured here are interviews with experts from around CDC which showcase the work being done to improve surveillance at the local, state and federal levels. Together, we are making surveillance:

  • Newer: Modern systems, more efficiency
  • Faster: Timely data, more answers
  • Smarter: Fewer silos, more connectivity
  • Better: Clearer picture, more protection

The Office of Public Health Scientific Services is leading the CDC Surveillance Strategy. In these videos, Dr. Chesley Richards engages experts in discussions about their day-to-day work being done by CDC and its partners to accelerate the Strategy.
