Hoyer Congratulates Dr. Vivek Murthy on Confirmation as U.S. Surgeon General WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement after Dr. Vivek Murthy was confirmed by the Senate as the next U.S. Surgeon General: "I join in congratulating Dr. Vivek Murthy on his confirmation as U.S. Surgeon General. Having served patients as a practicing physician and having launched pioneering public health and medical research organizations in both the non-profit and private sectors, Dr. Murthy has the experience and talents necessary to oversee the U.S. Public Health Service at a time of great challenges. As state and federal officials continue to take steps to prevent the spread of ebola and help more Americans access basic healthcare, it is critical that we have a surgeon general who can provide sound guidance and direction in responding to our public health challenges."
