2012: A Year in Review
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services

Last year was a busy and productive year for the Department of Health & Human Services. From continuing to implement this Administration’s historic healthcare reform law to delivering new programs and strategies to tackle some of our country’s most formidable and intransigent health problems; from providing needed human services every day to responding to natural disasters where and when they occurred, this Department continued to make a visible difference on the well-being of Americans. Watch the “2012: The HHS Year in Review” video, which captures some of those highlights, here.
