The outgoing U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Wednesday penned a heartfelt farewell message to the American people he has served for the past three and a half years, writing that serving in the role has been the honor of [his] life. Thank you for the opportunity to serve this great Nation, as this has been the honor of my life. Three years and five months ago, I was confirmed as just the 20th United States Surgeon General - and only the second-ever African American male to serve in that role, he began.
Adams, 46, said that his tenure first began with three category 5 hurricanes barreling down on our citizens, noting that at the time, he immediately deployed to witness the devastation first hand, and to lead our Public Health Service Officers as we helped with the response.
