Trump nominates former deputy surgeon general to lead CDC
"Schwartz's nomination as CDC director could encounter difficulties due to a demoralized workforce affected by high turnover. Employees have criticized Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for misinformation and damaging public health infrastructure."
"Trump praised Schwartz's qualifications for leading the agency, which has shifted focus under the Biden administration. Other appointments include Sean Slovenski as CDC deputy director and Jennifer Shuford as chief medical officer."
"Schwartz's extensive background includes 24 years in the Coast Guard and advanced degrees in medicine and law. The White House has delayed the selection of a permanent director."
