FY 2023 Annual Performance Plan and Report - Overview








  
  
    

  
      



Fiscal Year 2023
Released March, 2022

**Topics on this page:** Mission Statement | HHS Organizational Structure

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the United States government’s principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services.   HHS is tackling major challenges facing our country today, including the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing numbers of Unaccompanied Migrant Children, climate change, the opioid and substance use crisis, health inequality between this country’s diverse populations, and more.

HHS works closely with other federal departments and international partners to coordinate efforts and ensure the maximum benefit for the public throughout its work.   HHS also works with state, local, and U.S. territorial governments to achieve its mission.   The Federal Government has a unique legal and political government-to-government relationship with tribal governments and provides health services for American Indians and Alaska Natives consistent with this special relationship.   HHS works with tribal governments, urban Indian organizations, and other tribal organizations to facilitate greater consultation and coordination between state and tribal governments on health and human services.

HHS also has strong partnerships with the private sector and nongovernmental organizations.   The Department works with industries, academic institutions, trade organizations, and advocacy groups to leverage resources from organizations and individuals with shared interests.   By collaborating with these partners, HHS accomplishes its mission in ways that are the least burdensome and most beneficial to the American public.   Private sector grantees, such as academic institutions and faith-based and neighborhood partnerships, often provide HHS-funded services at the local level.

The Annual Performance Plan provides information on the Department’s planned measures of progress towards achieving the goals and objectives described in the newly developed HHS Strategic Plan for FY 2022-2026.   This document first provides the HHS Mission Statement and the HHS Organizational Structure.   The Annual Performance Plan provides an overview of Cross-Agency Priority Goals, Strategic Goals, Agency Priority Goals, Performance Management, and Strategic Reviews.   The plan then provides historical results and upcoming targets for the performance measures under each Strategic Objective, as well as an explanation for how the program will accomplish each target for FY 2023.   Finally, the Plan details evidence building efforts at HHS, cross-government collaborations, and major management priorities for HHS.

Mission Statement
