Most people I've met call DHHS "DHS". Should a "not to be confused with Department of Health and Human Services" section be added? GamerKlim9716 (talk) 01:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've always seen "DHS" as homeland security and HHS as health an human services. I've not seen one acronym used for both. Do you have any sources?

I didn't see this anywhere online so that's why I was asking if it's just people around me. Just people I know say "DHS" when they met "DHHS" often. GamerKlim9716 (talk) 20:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
