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!  

Trump added that the previous nominee, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, would instead work at HHS "within another capacity."

UPDATE #2: Dr Janette Nesheiwat reacted in an X post to Pres. Trump's announcement. She wrote:

I am looking forward to continuing to support President Trump and working closely with Secretary Kennedy in a senior policy role to Make America Healthy Again!  My focus continues to be on improving the health and well-being of all Americans, and that mission hasn’t changed.

 UPDATE #3: CBS News reports that "[Nesheiwat's] brother-in-law is Mike Waltz, who was recently removed as President Trump's national security adviser and has been nominated as ambassador to the United Nations."
