Calley Means, who previously served as an adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has quietly departed from her federal role at the White and House. Her departure marks the end of an era for the administration’s health policy team, which has seen several key figures leave or change roles in recent months.
Her sister, who has been nominated for the position of surgeon general, is set to take over in the role, signaling potential shifts in the administration’s health policy priorities. This move comes amid ongoing debates over healthcare reform and public health initiatives, with the surgeon general’s office playing a crucial role in shaping national health policy.
The departure of Means from her position at the White House has sparked speculation about the reasons behind her exit, though no official explanation has been provided. Meanwhile, the nomination of her sister for the surgeon general position could have implications for the administration’s approach to public health, especially as the country continues to grapple with issues such as healthcare access and disease management.
