This 2005 portrait featured former Secretary of Health and Human Services, Michael O. Leavitt. Sect. Leavitt was sworn in, as the 20th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), on January 26, 2005. As secretary, he led national efforts to protect the health of all Americans, and provide essential human services to those in need. He managed the largest civilian department in the Federal Government, with more than 66,000 employees, and a budget that accounts for almost one out of every four federal dollars. Prior to this roll, Mr. Leavitt served as Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Governor of Utah. While at the EPA, Leavitt signed the Clean Air Diesel Rule, implemented new, more-protective air quality standards for ozone and fine particle pollution, and organized a regional collaboration of national significance to clean and protect the Great Lakes.
