Description: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the United States government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is committed to making its Web sites accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. In keeping with its mission, HHS complies by implementing the regulations of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the HHS Secretary's Section 508 Implementation Policy. At this time, all HHS information should be accessible via screen readers and other accessibility tools with the exception of some pre-2001 information. This information may not be available in accessible formats. If you need an alternative means of access to any information on the HHS Web site please contact us. Let us know the nature of your accessibility problem, the Web address of the requested information, and your contact information. Section 508 requires Federal agencies to ensure that individuals with disabilities who are members of the public or Federal employees have access to and use of electronic and information technology (EIT) that is comparable to that provided to individuals without disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. The requirements of Section 508 apply to an agency's procurement of EIT, as well as the agency's development, maintenance, or use of EIT. "Americans' thoughts and prayers are with the people suffering as a result of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. As part of an integrated U.S government response, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stands ready to support the medical and public health needs of the Haitian people." Kathleen Sebelius was sworn in as the 21st Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on April 28, 2009. As Secretary, she leads the principal agency charged with keeping Americans healthy, ensuring they get the health care they need, and providing children, families, and seniors with the essential human services they depend on. She also oversees one of the largest civilian departments in the federal government, with nearly 80,000 employees.
