What You Should Know About Trump's Surgeon General Pick
HuffPost
Dr. Janette Nesheiwat is a regular on Fox News who sells her own brand of supplements.
Janette Nesheiwat, a family medicine doctor who runs a chain of urgent care clinics, is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for surgeon general ― one of the nation’s leading voices on matters of public health.
She’s a fixture on Fox News, home to several of Trump’s other intended Cabinet nominees. And she’s long been a vocal Trump supporter: Her social media accounts feature videos of Trump wishing her a happy birthday, selfies with him on the White House lawn and pictures with members of his inner circle at his Madison Square Garden rally. Her sister, Julia Nesheiwat, also served as Trump’s homeland security adviser during his last year in office.
If she’s confirmed by the Senate, she’ll be expected to set the tone on how the government approaches Americans’ medical concerns, launch programs to promote healthy lifestyles and weigh in on ongoing public health issues, from the opioid epidemic to youth nicotine use. And she’ll also oversee the 6,000 members of the United States Public Health Service Corps. Here’s what else there is to know about her:
