CDC Restructuring: A New Time for Managing Public Health.

The CDC may split into two parts. Some parts may go to a new group called the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA). This was said by a CDC leader in meetings this week.

The CDC protects people from health problems. It has many workers, mostly in Georgia. The Trump administration has cut the CDC's staff a lot.

The AHA will focus on health problems not from infections. It will include some groups already in place. It may also take CDC groups that deal with things like birth problems.

It is not clear if people will have to move for these changes. Moving jobs could make the CDC lose experts. These experts may not want to move from Atlanta.

The CDC parts that stay will focus on infections, except for HIV. HIV work may move to the AHA. A plan to split the CDC was talked about before.
