One of the important legacies at CDC is continuity of leadership. Like runners in a relay race, each CDC leader passes the baton of leadership smoothly to the next without disrupting the important programs necessary to protect the health of the nation. This perspective provides reflections on three aspects of CDC during the mid-1990s: first, continuing momentum in several important programs; second, strengthening CDC's infrastructure in terms of resources, programs, and organization; and third, responding to the emerging epidemic of overweight and obesity and the need to encourage healthy lifestyle choices.
美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的一项重要遗产是领导层的连续性。就像接力赛中的赛跑者一样，每位CDC领导人都能顺利地将领导权接力棒传递给下一位，而不会干扰保护国家健康所需的重要项目。这一观点反映了20世纪90年代中期CDC的三个方面：第一，几个重要项目的持续发展势头；第二，在资源、项目和组织方面加强CDC的基础设施；第三，应对超重和肥胖的新流行趋势以及鼓励做出健康生活方式选择的需求。
