Trump nominates former Coast Guard doctor as CDC chief - NPR
Overview
President Trump has nominated Dr. Erica Schwartz, a former Coast Guard physician who served as deputy surgeon general, to be director of the CDC, ending months of interim leadership. The administration's simultaneous changes at the surgeon general post — withdrawing one nominee and naming another — underscore broad turnover in health leadership. Reports that Trump plans to fire FDA Commissioner Marty Makary suggest the instability affects multiple agencies and could complicate efforts to stabilize operations and secure Senate confirmations.
