The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) applauds the appointment of Dr. Rachel Levine to Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by President Joe Biden.
Having served as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Health and physician general, Dr. Levine brings deep experience in improving the health and quality of life of individuals, families, communities and populations through disease prevention and health promotion — the core mission of ACPM. Through her leadership of Pennsylvania’s public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Levine understands the strained infrastructure of health and healthcare in this country, and what it will take to prepare it for the future. ACPM stands ready to assist Dr. Levine and HHS to meet the needs and growing demands of public health in order to save lives, create healthier communities and transform our healthcare system.”
