Legal guardian for the nation's health
Article Abstract:
Gene W Matthews, legal adviser to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heads a department of 13 with work falling into three categories, privacy and confidentiality, civil litigation, and programs covering such areas as AIDS, chronic disease, and occupational and environmental health. Matthews describes their work as helping their agency with its mission of preventing sickness and death rather than trying cases and winning judgments. Dealing with the media occupies a large part of the CDC's time and its lawyers help with that.
