Surgeon General: ‘Connect With Community’

Dave Jones — June 27, 2019 - 5:08pm

Surgeon General Jerome Adams is on a mission. As the “nation’s health cheerleader,” he encourages everyone in the field — students, physicians, nurses, public health specialists and businesses — to get involved.

“We often fail to connect with our community,” Adams said June 24 at a special “grand rounds” for faculty, staff and students at ��ϲʿ��ͼ Health. “We get inside our walls and clinics. We see patients when they come to us. We don’t go to them.”

Adams also addressed the opioid epidemic and ways medical personnel can help, and drew on an example from his own family.
