The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is a vast department overseeing health, public health, and welfare. It houses powerful agencies: the FDA (drugs, devices, and food), the NIH (medical research), the CDC (disease control), and CMS (public health insurance).
Because it administers the huge Medicare and Medicaid benefits, it is among the largest federal departments by budget. Much of the health data on this site — FDA recalls, NIH research grants — originates in its sub-agencies. It is also a prolific rule-maker and sits at the center of policy in health and bio.
