One year ago today, I was honored to join @HHSGov as the 16th Assistant Secretary for Health. Thanks to the dedicated professionals I’ve been privileged to work with, it’s been an incredible year.
Although this has been a historically impactful year for OASH, we have only just begun our mission to Lead America to Healthier Lives. Most recently – we announced a historic new plan to end the #HIVepidemic in America. hiv.gov/federal-respon…
We rolled out numerous critical efforts including the #PAGuidelines, the #CommonRule, cross-agency effort on #SickleCell disease with @nhlbi, #PainTaskForce & #HPV initiative. Image
I have the privilege of leading the US #PublicHealthService #CommissionedCorps along with the @Surgeon_General. The Corps serves in hundreds of locations, domestically and globally, to deliver care to those most in need & to pioneer science & policies to advance public health. Image
And as the senior advisor to @SecAzar on opioid policy, OASH has led the effort on a number of activities including @HHSGov National Convening on Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome #NAS. This is truly the role of a lifetime and I’m looking forward to the rest of this year! Image

I am so honored to join Senator @SarahEMcBride for an important roundtable with medical and direct service providers from Delaware to discuss their work supporting and empowering trans and LGBTQI+ youth, and access to gender-affirming care services. Image
Gender-affirming care is medical care. It is mental health care. It is suicide prevention care. It improves quality of life, and it saves lives. It is based on decades of study. It is a well-established medical practice.
When our #LGBTQI+ youth feel emotionally and physically safe and supported it decreases their risk for depression.

(2/6) It makes all the difference in the world to hear just one supportive person reminding you that you are a valuable human being, that your life is important, that you have no less dignity than anyone else.
(3/6) It is a great shame that anyone should ever feel so low that they would need to hear those words. But they do.

Next stop in Allentown, @LehighUHealth’s new Institute of Health Policy and Politics. One lesson we learned from COVID-19 is that we’re all interconnected. This @LehighU institute is committed to breaking down silos in health and politics and working across disciplines.
It’s always a pleasure to meet students on the road and introduce them to @usphscc. I have no doubt that the new @LehighUHealth Institute will cultivate some of our brightest leaders!

For more information about the Public Health Service, visit usphs.gov
Rounded out my day in Allentown with a student forum at @cedarcrestcolle.

What gives me hope and optimism for the future is seeing their drive and passion to work for the common good. Thank you for having me!

I am pleased to announce our most recent advance in our #COVID19 testing ecosystem – one that will support the continued safe and sensible reopening of America, and particularly our K-12 schools.
The Administration and @HHSGov will distribute approximately 100 million @AbbottNews #BinaxNOW tests to governors of states and territories, beginning with a total of 6.5 million tests this week!
The #BinaxNOW test detects the presence of #COVID19 antigen within 15 minutes and is easy to administer. The test also comes w/ a free companion smart phone app called NAVICA to provide test results to the patient. Image

Let me be clear, we’re still partnering w/retail & pharmacy companies such as @CVSHealth, @HealthMart, @riteaid, @Walgreens & @Walmart to conduct #COVID19 testing. Since @POTUS launched this initiative, sites conducted nearly 2M tests & have been offered an extension thru Nov 30.
Thanks to our retail and pharmacy partnerships in 800 + locations across America, we have expanded our community testing support to a sustainable model in our most vulnerable communities.
Our partnership w/retail & pharmacy companies provides convenient access to #COVID19 tests AND serves as a bridge for the implementation of new regulatory flexibilities, expanded reimbursement options & the new authority given to pharmacists to order & administer #COVID19 testing
