Dr. Casey Means has been nominated as the next Surgeon General of the United States.
In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced, “I am pleased to announce that Dr. Casey Means, will be nominated as our next Surgeon General of the United States of America. Casey has impeccable “MAHA” credentials, and will work closely with our wonderful Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans. Her academic achievements, together with her life’s work, are absolutely outstanding. Dr. Casey Means has the potential to be one of the finest Surgeon Generals in United States History. Congratulations to Casey!”
The nomination follows the White House’s decision to withdraw Dr. Janette Nesheiwat’s candidacy for the role. According to Axios, the move came after far-right activist Laura Loomer raised questions about Nesheiwat’s academic credentials. CBS News previously reported that Nesheiwat had claimed to have graduated from the University of Arkansas, though records indicate she attended a medical school in the Caribbean.
