Trump nominates Kennedy ally Casey Means as new US surgeon general
May 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced Casey Means, a physician and health entrepreneur with ties to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as his nominee for the next surgeon general of the country.
Means, 37, is a vocal proponent of Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda and is a co-founder of the health tech app Levels, which uses data from continuous glucose monitors to inform users on how food affects their health.
Casey's brother Calley Means was recently appointed as a White House adviser to work on the "Make America Healthy Again" campaign, focusing on food policy and the influence of corporations on health.
As the nation's doctor, the surgeon general provides Americans with the best scientific information available on how to improve their health and reduce risk of illness and injury.
Trump had earlier nominated Janette Nesheiwat as the U.S. surgeon general. He said on Wednesday Nesheiwat would work with Kennedy in another capacity at the health agency.
