Hospitalist. Entrepreneur.

Son of immigrants.

The only Surgeon General to have a child while in office.

Dr. Vivek Murthy is a true rarity, willing to share with authenticity and hope his passions around issues such as substance abuse, the opioid crisis, and the other epidemic of social isolation and loneliness that may be fueling pretty much everything. This is an interview that is a must-watch for anyone in health care who hopes to influence government and public health as only we can. We in the tribe of healers have a deep responsibility to contribute, and Dr. Murthy embodies that spirit of compassion and generosity.
