One of Dr. Tom Frieden’s first initiatives as CDC director was to launch a Winnable Battles initiative to push for progress in key areas where much more progress is possible – healthcare-associated infections; tobacco; nutrition, physical activity, and obesity; food safety; motor vehicle safety; teen pregnancy; and HIV prevention. The Winnable Battles Progress Report 2010-2015 shows where CDC stands on meeting their 2015 goals.
