Where is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquartered?

• A. Ames, Iowa
• B. Atlanta, Georgia
• C. New York City, New York
• D. Washington, D.C.

Answer: (B)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. This location has long been the agency’s main campus and is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Atlanta site sits on Clifton Road, close to Emory University, and serves as the central hub for the CDC’s operations nationwide. The other cities listed are not the CDC’s headquarters, which is why Atlanta is the correct choice.
