Dr. Janette Nesheiwat Nominated as Surgeon General

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a Fox News medical contributor, as the U.S. Surgeon General, reflecting his trend of selecting familiar media figures for key positions. Dr. Nesheiwat is recognized for her advocacy in preventive medicine and has treated patients during significant crises such as COVID-19 and Hurricane Katrina. She is a double board-certified physician and currently serves as the Medical Director at CityMD, an urgent care network. Trump praised her commitment to accessible healthcare and her belief in empowering individuals to manage their health. Her appointment requires Senate confirmation and draws parallels to former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, known for his public health campaigns. Nesheiwat has also authored a book detailing her medical experiences and miracles in healing.
