Confirm Dr. Vivek Murthy as U.S. Surgeon General Now!

With diseases like enterovirus D68 and ebola making headlines, we need our public health system to be at full fighting strength and operating at the highest levels of competency. Yet, the post of U.S. Surgeon General, America’s leading public-health official, has remained unfilled for over a year now.

Our country needs a U.S. Surgeon General – “America’s Top Doctor” – to educate the public, calm fears, and mobilize health care providers, and we have a highly qualified and respected nominee waiting in the wings: Dr. Vivek Murthy.

Dr. Vivek Murthy has a strong background, is highly qualified for the position, and has the support of hundreds of our leading health organizations.

Tell the U.S. Senate to confirm Dr. Murthy as U.S. Surgeon General now!

Dear Senator,

Public health is no place to play politics. It’s time to confirm Dr. Vivek Murthy as U.S. Surgeon General. 

Dr. Vivek Murthy was nominated in 2013 to be the next Surgeon General. Leaders in medicine and public health have gathered behind Dr. Murthy’s nomination, including the American Public Health Association, the American Hospital Association, the American College of Physicians, the New England Journal of Medicine, and former Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher. 

But Dr. Murthy's confirmation has been stalled for months. Why? Because politics have gotten in the way of protecting the health of the nation at this critical time.

I urge you to confirm Dr. Murthy for for U.S. Surgeon General now!

Sincerely,
