Hi, everyone --
I'm the Surgeon General ofthe United States -- which means it's my job to keep
America healthy by providing you with the bestscientific information available
about your health.
Y esterday, I had the opportunity to meet with PresidentObama, EPA Administrator
Gina McCarthy and health careprofessionals to discuss climate change.We talked
about the impact ofclimate change on public health and the importance of
prevention.
Clearly, we all have a stake in our national and global health. Every single oneofus
stands to benefit from a public health system that is focused on wellness and
prevention -- not one that simply focuses on treating sickness and disease.
So as part of National Public Health Week,I'm taking your questions.If
you're on T witter,and you've got a question about the impact ofclimate
change on health -- or any other public health topic -- shoot it my way
using the hashtag #AskTheSurgeonGeneral.
I'll be answering your questions via videothroughoutthe afternoon
tomorrow from my Twitter account, @Surgeon_General.
Every one ofus wants to do what we can to protect the health ofour families,
including the health ofour grandchildren and future generations. That starts with
being informed abouthow we can keep ourselves, and one another, healthy --
particularly in the face ofa changing climate.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
Stay healthy, America.
VM
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy
