ST. LOUIS — Anesthesiologist and former U.S. surgeon general Jerome Adams has emerged as a leading voice on public health and issues of equity in medicine from his new position as executive director of health equity initiatives at Purdue University, in his home state of Indiana.
He recently was a keynote speaker at the Association for Health Care Journalists annual meeting in St. Louis, where he criticized some of the reporting on him while he was surgeon general for being overly politicized and taking some of his comments out of context.
