Vivek Murthy quotes:

My weakness is sweets. I like bread pudding and cheesecake in particular.

Being Indian-American, I have tremendous potential to grow facial hair.

A lot of people have misconceptions about what the surgeon general does.

Most people think that you need to be healthy in order to happy.

I have to be careful when I'm around sweets.

The surgeon general is responsible for sharing scientifically-based information with the public so that they can improve their health. But I will say personally that my goal as surgeon general is to help build a culture of prevention in America so that we are a nation that is as good at preventing illness as we are at treating it.
