Dr. Janette Nesheiwat Nominated for U.S. Surgeon General by President-elect Trump
Dr. Janette Nesheiwat has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to become the next Surgeon General of the United States, a position that entails leading public health efforts and providing medical guidance to the nation. Nesheiwat, who previously served as a medical director for CityMD—a network of urgent care centers in New York and New Jersey—brings a wealth of experience in emergency care and public health.
Born on August 25, 1976, in Carmel, New York, to Jordanian immigrant parents, Nesheiwat was raised by her widowed mother, who instilled in her the values of hard work and kindness. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of South Florida, she graduated from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine in 2005 and completed her family medicine residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 2009.
Nesheiwat’s extensive career includes direct involvement in disaster relief efforts, providing medical assistance in the aftermath of events like Hurricane Katrina and the Joplin tornadoes, as well as participating in humanitarian missions across various countries including Morocco and Haiti. Trump praised her as “a fierce advocate and strong communicator for preventive medicine and public health,” highlighting her commitment to making quality healthcare accessible to all Americans.
Her nomination has stirred discussions, particularly regarding her views on vaccines. While Nesheiwat is known for her support of vaccines, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, her appointment comes alongside that of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a figure known for his critical stance on vaccine safety. This juxtaposition may lead to contrasting perspectives within the Trump administration regarding vaccine policy.
Nesheiwat has also penned a book titled Beyond the Stethoscope: Miracles in Medicine, where she shares insights from her medical journey. As she prepares for her role, pending Senate confirmation, her leadership will likely focus on addressing critical public health challenges, such as mental health, access to care, and disease prevention.
