USPHS and the 8 Agencies
I think a vast majority of Americans do not know that within the Health and Human Services (HHS), there are 8 agencies that are part of something called the U.S. Public Health Service (UPSHS).
USPHS has a uniformed service called the USPHS Commissioned Corps whose servicemembers are considered active duty and veterans of this country. It's been around since 1889.
America doesn't recognize USPHS as an entity anymore though this wasn't always the case. Admittedly, the organization and structure of USPHS has become way too complicated to the detriment of the Commissioned Corps and America's public health.
In this episode I discuss the 8 agencies that comprise USPHS today.
