Asst. HHS Sec. Levine: I Am Working on Policies that Support ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’

EXCERPT:

LEVINE: "Well, thank you so much. It is such an honor to serve in this position. It’s an honor to have been nominated and then confirmed as the assistant secretary for health. And then truly an honor to have taken the uniform of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps as a four-star admiral. So I am truly privileged. I am honored to serve as a role model for transgender individuals, but what I want to do is give back. And the two ways that I can give back is, one, to be very vocal and advocate for the LGBTQI+ community, specifically transgender individuals, and to work on specific policies at HHS and throughout the administration that support diversity, equity and inclusion."
