As the “nation’s health cheerleader,” he encourages everyone in the field — students, physicians, nurses, public health specialists and businesses — to get involved.</p> <p>“We often fail to connect with our community,” Adams said June 24 at a special “grand rounds” for faculty, staff and students at �������� Health. “We get inside our walls and clinics. We see patients when they come to us. We don’t go to them.”</p> <p>Adams also addressed the opioid epidemic and ways medical personnel can help, and drew on an example from his own family.</p> June 27, 2019 - 5:08pm Dave Jones /news/surgeon-general-connect-community
