The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works to protect the health of all Americans and provide essential human services. The Office of the Secretary leads the department by setting policies, managing programs, and coordinating work across HHS. HHS includes several divisions that focus on public health, medical research, health care coverage, food and drug safety, and support services for children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities. Together, we work to improve health, advance science, and help people get the care and support they need.
