The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is a cabinet-level executive branch department of the US federal government. HHS aims to protect the health of all Americans and provide essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. While its primary focus is on health and social services, HHS's activities can extend into space-related areas through research and programs related to the health and well-being of individuals in space environments. HHS partners with other government agencies and organizations to achieve its goals.
