Department of Health and Human Services Flag
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was officially established in 1953, initially as the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare before being reorganized in 1980. Providing a wide range of services from public health, medical research, to health and social services are just a few of the ways the HHS supports Americans. Its formation marked a pivotal expansion of the government's role in directly supporting the health and welfare of its citizens, tackling everything from disease prevention and medical research to food safety and health insurance.
The Department of Health and Human Services Flag Design
The flag of the Department of Health features the HHS seal, a stylized eagle representing the United States, with an outstretched wing embracing a family unit, symbolizing the Department's protective and nurturing role with the medical staff of Asclepius positioned in the foreground. The background of the flag is a serene blue, suggesting trust, reliability, and responsibility while the surrounding of the seal, the words "Department of Health and Human Services, USA" is written along with the founding year, 1953.
