President Donald Trump has made a significant change in his nomination for U.S. Surgeon General. On Wednesday, he announced that he has withdrawn the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat and instead chosen Dr. Casey Means for the position. Dr. Means is recognized as a prominent figure in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement.
Dr. Means, who trained as a surgeon at Stanford University, has shifted her focus toward public health. She is the author of a book titled “Good Energy” and is known for her unique approach to addressing chronic diseases, which she believes are on the rise in the country.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised Dr. Means, highlighting her qualifications and expressing confidence in her ability to work alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He stated that her nomination is a step toward reversing the chronic disease epidemic and improving health for all Americans.
While the reason for Dr. Nesheiwat’s withdrawal remains unclear, Trump mentioned that she would still have a role at HHS in another capacity. This change comes as a surprise to many, especially since Dr. Means has garnered support from those involved in the MAHA movement, who see her nomination as a victory for their cause.
Supporters of Dr. Means took to social media to express their excitement. Holden Culotta, a notable figure in the MAHA community, shared a video of Dr. Means discussing issues within the healthcare system. Conservative commentator Isabel Brown also shared her emotional response to the news, emphasizing the fight against chronic disease and unhealthy food practices.
Dr. Means herself thanked President Trump for the nomination on her social media account, signaling her readiness to take on this important role. The nomination has sparked a wave of enthusiasm from advocates for health reform, who are eager to see how her leadership will shape public health policies in the future.
