So, like, this lady, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, is like totally on her way to becoming the next U.S. surgeon general, thanks to President Donald Trump’s pick. She’s been hustling on Capitol Hill, meeting with senators left and right to get that sweet confirmation ahead of her big hearing. Senators are all about her and the whole “Make America Healthy Again” movement she’s all about.
Word on the street is that Nesheiwat has been having some pretty legit meetings with folks in the know up on the Hill. She chatted it up with the Senate HELP Committee crew and all the health policy GOP peeps. And get this, they’re all about her snagging the medical director spot in the Public Health Service and the surgeon general gig.
She’s been schmoozing with Democrat Sens. Angela Alsobrooks, John Hickenlooper, and Marsha Blackburn, who’s been giving her the thumbs up. Details on her sit-downs with Hickenlooper and Alsobrooks are a bit fuzzy, but word is they’ve been chatting about all sorts of important stuff like fighting diseases, opioids, vaccines, and making sure folks have good nutrition. Oh, and they’re also talking about mental health, food deserts, and how the government can step up its game in tracking health issues.
Nesheiwat has been making the rounds with all the Republican senators on the Senate HELP Committee, except for Sen. Josh Hawley. But don’t worry, Sen. Katie Brit from Alabama is hoping to squeeze in a meeting with her in early May.
Trump saw something special in Nesheiwat when he nominated her for the surgeon general role. He called her a champ for preventative medicine and public health, and he’s pumped to have her on board.
The prez gave Nesheiwat a shoutout for her work during the COVID-19 madness in NYC, where she was in the trenches treating peeps left and right. He also gave her props for her expertise in handling health crises like Hurricane Katrina and the Joplin tornadoes.
Cassidy from the Senate HELP Committee was all about Nesheiwat after their chat, saying she’s got the know-how to tackle the nation’s health issues from all angles.
And the MAHA movement led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Republicans are all about it, saying Nesheiwat is the embodiment of what they’re all about.
Tuberville from Alabama is all in for making America healthy again, and he’s stoked to see Nesheiwat bring some serious leadership to the table.
Nesheiwat’s got the creds too, y’all. She’s a double board-certified doc in family and urgent care medicine, and she’s been in the thick of it during major health crises like flu epidemics and the opioid mess. She even held it down as the first female medical director at CityMD in Manhattan.
Her hearing is set for May 8th, and she’s ready to face the Senate HELP Committee crew head-on. They’re gonna grill her with questions before they give her the thumbs up.
So basically, Nesheiwat is on her way to doing big things, and everyone in the know is pretty hyped about it. Let’s see what she brings to the table when she steps into that surgeon general role.
