Dr. Adams oversees approximately 6,500 uniformed health officers in the U.S. Public Health Service, of which about 75 are veterinarians. As the nations doctor, Dr. Adams is responsible for promoting, protecting, and advancing the countrys health. My guiding principle is Better health through better partnerships. We can only change our collective futures together. If you stay in your veterinary silo, then all the knowledge you have isnt going to be utilized to maximal impact, said Dr. Adams, an enthusiastic supporter of the one-health movement. Dr. Adams has created several initiatives to tackle the nations most pressing health problems, including the opioid epidemic. He encouraged veterinarians to carry naloxone, a federally approved medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. He also highlighted a digital postcard titled Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon Generals Spotlight on Opioids that calls for a cultural shift in the way Americans think about, talk about, and respond to the opioid crisis.
