CREATING PARTNERSHIPS FOR A SAFER, HEALTHIER WORLD
2012 REPORT TO CONTRIBUTORS
Charles StokesPresident and CEO
Dear Friends:
At the CDC Foundation, we are grateful to our donors and partners who help us advance the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) life-saving work in the United States and
throughout the world.
Thanks to you, the CDC Foundation has connected CDC with $396 million to support more than
600 CDC programs. These programs have advanced urgent public health priorities, ranging from
preparing our nation for disasters to improving access to safe water in some of the most remote
parts of the world.
In the 2011-2012 fi scal year, the CDC Foundation received more than $28 million from our
donors and partners. We are pleased to share some highlights from the past year, such as a
campaign to encourage baby boomers to get a hepatitis C test, initiatives centered on tobacco
surveillance and control and activities that ultimately improve human health.
Notably, in this report you will also learn more about our focus on three other program
categories from the past year: keeping patients safe from infections, preventing violence and
making motherhood safer. While CDC is one of the most highly respected government agencies,
many of the business and community leaders we know may not be familiar with CDC’s essential
roles in protecting our nation’s health security and supporting a healthy U.S. economy. So, as part
of our strategy, we are working to keep CDC front of mind for our nation’s business, civic and
nonprofi t leaders.
Thank you for joining with the CDC Foundation to help CDC do more, faster. We are pleased that
you recognize the value of a strong, well-resourced CDC, and greatly appreciate how you express
that recognition—through your generous support for CDC and its programs that protect U.S.
citizens and people around the world.
Gary Cohen, Chair, Board of Directors
> Reducing Tobacco UseWorldwide, tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death, killing 6 million people annually. Internationally, the CDC Foundation is working with the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use to expand CDC’s Global Tobacco Surveillance System to 40 countries. Since the Bloomberg Initiative began in 2007, 31 countries have passed 100 percent smoke-free laws. Through a partnership with Pfi zer Inc, the CDC Foundation is helping CDC show the economic impact of smoke-free policies on U.S. businesses.
Program Highlights
> Flour Fortifi cationVitamin and mineral defi ciencies cause serious birth defects and contribute to maternal mortality. Working with partners Cargill, UNICEF, Micronutrient Initiative, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, Buhler AG, Bunge Ltd. and General Mills, the CDC Foundation has been a global partner in the Flour Fortifi cation Initiative, more than doubling the number of countries requiring fl our fortifi cation with iron or folic acid. In 2012, the Flour Fortifi cation Initiative celebrated its 10-year anniversary.
> Hepatitis TestingOne in 30 baby boomers is infected with hepatitis C and most don’t even know it. The CDC Foundation’s $6.25 million Viral Hepatitis Action Coalition has funded a video stories project, a multimedia “Know More Hepatitis” campaign and the Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study, the largest cohort study of persons in care for viral hepatitis in the U.S. In 2012, CDC recommended that all baby boomers born between 1945 and 1965 should get a one-time test for hepatitis C; the fi rst ever Hepatitis Testing Day was May 19. Testing could identify more than 800,000 people with the disease and ultimately save more than 120,000 lives.
> Controlling Foodborne DiseaseA recent CDC report revealed that norovirus has been the nation’s leading cause of foodborne disease outbreaks in the last decade. A CDC Foundation partnership with North Carolina State University is helping CDC collaborate with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to improve tools, skills and capacity to study foodborne viruses. This integrated approach will systematically identify risk factors and develop strategies to reduce contamination from farm to table.
Dr. Kelly Henning, Director of International Health Programs,
Bloomberg Philanthropies, Partner with the Emergency
Obstetrics in Tanzania project
Making Motherhood Safer
“Bloomberg Philanthropies has a rewarding
partnership with CDC and the CDC Foundation…
CDC’s unparalleled evaluation expertise allows
us to better understand the impact of our investment,
enabling us to improve our intervention and provide
the best possible emergency obstetric care for mothers.”
Healthcare interventions before, during and after delivery can
save the lives of mothers and babies. The CDC Foundation
is working with healthcare providers and community health
workers to ensure that mothers and newborns have access to
care and are protected from potentially fatal infections and
complications during delivery.
Emergency Obstetrics in Tanzania
A collaborative effort between CDC’s Center for Global Health in
Tanzania and Division of Reproductive Health, in partnership with
Bloomberg Philanthropies, is working with the World Lung Foundation
to reduce maternal mortality in Tanzania by evaluating the program’s
intervention facilities.
Safe Delivery in Kenya
CDC’s Center for Global Health and partners in rural western Kenya
are providing transportation to healthcare facilities for expectant
mothers and ensuring that women giving birth in a facility or at home
have access to safe delivery kits and blood supplies.
Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)
A collaboration between CDC and the Kellogg Foundation is collecting
state-specifi c, population-based data on maternal attitudes and
experiences before, during and after pregnancy with the goal of
improving maternal and infant health by closing racial/ethnic
disparities and increasing access to care.
mHealth in Tanzania
The mHealth Tanzania Partnership is helping to reduce maternal mortality
by providing informative text messages and appointment reminders in
Swahili for pregnant women and mothers of newborns as a part of a
national healthy pregnancy and safe motherhood multimedia campaign,
“Wazazi Nipendeni.”
Keeping Patients Safe
“By bringing together experts in oncology and
infection control to raise awareness of this
public health concern, we hope to empower
patients, their caregivers and healthcare providers
to take necessary steps to prevent infection.”
Sean Harper, M.D., Executive Vice President,
Research and Development, Amgen
Partner with the Reducing Infections in Cancer Patients project
Many infections in healthcare settings are preventable.
The CDC Foundation is working with patients, families and
healthcare providers to raise awareness and reduce the risk
of infection in patients.
Reducing Infections in Cancer Patients
A partnership with Amgen has developed a comprehensive education
campaign targeting cancer patients, their families and their providers
to help reduce the risk of patients developing infections during
chemotherapy treatment in outpatient offi ces, hospitals and homes.
This program has provided action steps and tools for patients, families
and healthcare providers including an educational website, print
materials and expert commentary through Medscape.
Safe Injection Practices Coalition (SIPC)
CDC Foundation is the coalition convener of the SIPC, comprised of 19
members. The Coalition developed the “One & Only Campaign” to raise
awareness among patients and healthcare providers about how single
dose vials are to be used for only one patient in an effort to eradicate
outbreaks resulting from unsafe injection practices. SIPC has created
educational resources for patients and training materials for providers,
including healthcare provider and state health department toolkits.
Each year, an estimated 60,000 patients are hospitalized for
infections from treatment associated with chemotherapy,
and a patient dies every two hours from this complication.
Violence Prevention
“…to prevent sexual violence
against children…there is simply
no information about how
widespread the problem is, so
we support collecting data at the
national level. Concrete action is
possible when we understand the
scope and scale of a problem.”
Former U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton
Advocate of the Together for Girls initiative
Domestic violence and violence against women and children
is a global epidemic. Prevention is crucial in stopping violence
before it starts. The World Health Organization estimates that
150 million girls under the age of 18 have experienced some
form of sexual violence. Studies also indicate that as many as
six out of 10 sexual assaults are committed against girls ages
15 and younger.
Together for Girls
The CDC Foundation is helping CDC in the global fi ght to end sexual
violence against girls. Funded by the Nduna Foundation, the United
Nations Population Fund and individual donors, this initiative is a
partnership between BD, Clinton Global Initiative, Grupo ABC, PEPFAR,
United Nations Development Programme, U.S. Department of State and
CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Data has led
to program implementation and interventions such as the introduction
of legislation, establishment of child-friendly courts and integration of
sexual offense units trained to work with children in police stations.
Saltzman Endowed Fund Award
As a partner with CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), the Linda Saltzman New Investigator Award recognizes an
outstanding new investigator working in the fi eld of domestic violence,
violence against women or dating violence. Futures Without Violence,
CDC and a committee of experts selects an individual to receive the
award every other year. Emily F. Rothman, Sc.D., Associate Professor,
Department of Community Health Sciences, Boston University School
of Public Health, received the award in 2012.
Evidence-Based Interventions in Violence Prevention
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, CDC is
expanding its violence prevention work by investigating how evidence-
based interventions to prevent violence are being implemented in the
fi eld and whether they make programs more effective. For example,
CDC is examining the Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) system to see
how it is working in U.S. communities and how to scale it up successfully.
Fiscal Year 2012 Report to Contributors
The CDC Foundation gratefully acknowledges the generous support of foundations,
corporations, organizations and individuals. This support, totaling $28 million in
the fi scal year beginning July 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2012, enables the CDC
Foundation to help CDC do more, faster, to keep America healthy, safe and secure.
THE MARGARET ELLERBE MAHONEY SOCIETYThe CDC Foundation board of directors created The Margaret Ellerbe Mahoney Society in 1998
to honor Ms. Mahoney for her service to the board and her vital support of Foundation initiatives
since its inception. Widely respected in philanthropic circles as the “Grande Dame” of philanthropy,
she devoted her career to working with philanthropies focused on health, education, arts and the
humanities. She worked in key roles at the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation and The Commonwealth Fund. Ms. Mahoney was a strong advocate of the
CDC Foundation until her passing in 2011. The Margaret Ellerbe Mahoney Society recognizes
leadership donors who have given $1,000 or more in gifts or in-kind services during the year.

Stephen Thacker, M.D., M.Sc., RADM/ASG (ret.), USPHS, formerly director of the Offi ce of Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
passed away on February 15, 2013. Throughout his distinguished 37-year career at CDC, Steve
contributed a legacy of extraordinary leadership and unyielding dedication and contributions to the
fi eld of epidemiology and to public health science. On his fi rst day as an Epidemic Intelligence Service
offi cer, Steve was sent out on an investigation to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which turned out to be
the fi rst recognized Legionnaire’s epidemic. From that historic moment, Steve’s career embodied the
best of CDC’s commitment to science and to service. All of us at the CDC Foundation who knew him
knew how dedicated he was to his family, friends and community. He will be truly missed.
The Thacker Family has established the Stephen B. Thacker Fund at the CDC Foundation to honor
Steve’s life and service to public health as well as his passion for the Epidemic Intelligence Service.
