Government wellness organizations

Public health agencies are government organizations responsible for protecting and promoting the health of populations.

They monitor disease outbreaks, coordinate vaccinations, enforce sanitation standards, and respond to health emergencies.

The CDC is the primary public health agency in the United States.

These agencies operate at federal, state, and local levels, often working together during crises like pandemics or natural disasters.
