David Satcher - Wikipedia

Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for letting us know that March 2 is the anniversary of the birth of American physician, and public health administrator David Satcher who was a four-star admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and served as the 10th Assistant Secretary for Health, and the 16th Surgeon General of the United States.

"While serving as surgeon general, Satcher worked to improve access to health care and addressed health concerns such as obesity. He also identified suicide as a national health crisis. In 1999, Satcher issued a call to action, saying the country must "put into place national strategies to prevent the loss of life and the suffering suicide causes."
Satcher's predecessor as surgeon general, M. Jocelyn Elders, had to resign after making controversial remarks regarding sex education; Satcher encountered similar political difficulties during his years in the position. He was criticized for a June 2001 report that called for sex education to provide information beyond stressing abstinence. Despite the criticism, Satcher remained in the surgeon general's office until 2002."

"Former US Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher talks about Alzheimer's disease and the effect it has on families."
