CDC's National Center for Health Statistics

The CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is a key agency that collects and analyzes health data in the United States. It tracks vital information like birth rates, death rates, disease prevalence, and healthcare usage. This data helps public health officials, policymakers, and researchers understand health trends, identify emerging health issues, and make informed decisions to improve the nation's health. NCHS’s work is vital for setting health priorities, planning services, and guiding policies to promote better health outcomes for all Americans.
