CDC is vital to a healthy economy in three essential ways:

1. CDC fights pandemics and disease outbreaks that disrupt business continuity and reduce productivity.
2. CDC provides evidence-based guidelines and health data to help protect workers from health, occupational, and environmental hazards.
3. CDC helps employers and families reduce healthcare spending on chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
