RFK Jr. Taps Stephanie Haridopolos as Temporary Surgeon General

Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F.

Haridopolos, a family medicine physician who is currently a senior adviser and chief of staff for the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, is now the office’s director of health communications, Kennedy told staff in an email sent late Tuesday.
