MECHANICSVILLE, Md. — Dr. Jerome Adams announced on Jan. 20 that he was resigning from the role of U.S. Surgeon General, after being asked to step down by the newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden. Adams was appointed in 2017 to the role of Surgeon General in 2017 by President Trump. He was the second African American Surgeon General and has been a prominent official during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I hope in 2021 and beyond, we can focus more on what unites us, and rise above what divides us,” Adams said. “Because Americans working together can overcome any obstacle or adversary. I stand at the ready to help in our mutual quest for recovery, resilience, and health, and thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the opportunity to serve.”
