INDIANA DOCTOR TRUMP’S PICK FOR SURGEON GENERAL

Indiana’s top doctor could become the nation’s next surgeon general.

President Trump on Thursday nominated Indiana State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams to serve as the next surgeon general.

Adams was appointed to his current position 2½ years ago by Vice President Mike Pence, at the time Indiana’s governor.

While Adams declined interviews through a Health and Human Services spokesman, he tweeted Thursday that he was grateful for the opportunity.

People who have worked in Indiana with Adams praised him for his tireless energy as well as his finely honed people skills and ability to listen.
