Today’s Threats, Tomorrow’s Health: A Discussion with CDC Leaders

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) overseas mission is an integral part of its mandate to respond to outbreaks at their source, protect the health of all Americans, and strengthen global health security. But this global programming has long remained underpowered, under resourced, and unrecognized for the critical contributions it secures for both national security and the stability of the broader world. This oversight threatens the sustainability of these vital programs, which are essential not only globally but also for maintaining health security within the United States.

Please join the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security on Monday, May 13 from 2:30 to 3:30pm ET for a discussion on current health threats and how CDC is poised to respond effectively, innovate solutions, and strengthen health systems both at home and abroad. Julie Gerberding, CEO of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, Co-Chair of the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance, and former CDC Director will moderate a conversation with four directors of CDC centers that are charged with leading CDC’s mission: Kayla Laserson, Director, Global Health Center; Daniel Jernigan, Director, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases; Demetre Daskalakis, Director, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases; and Henry Walke, Director, Office of Readiness and Response. The panelists will discuss how CDC’s global mission can enhance and inform its domestic agenda, focusing on current events like the H5N1 outbreak and its potential global impacts. How is the agency striving to take a more strategic approach to its international programming, and how could these steps to strengthen CDC’s performance in turn strengthen trust and confidence in public health more broadly?

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
