On Saturday, Governor-Elect Tom Wolf released the names of four more members of his cabinet, one of which is a transgender woman, Dr. Rachel Levine, who will serve as his physician general.
Dr. Levine, a resident of Middletown, Pennsylvania, is currently a professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, where she also serves as chief of the Division of Adolescent Medicine and Eating Disorders, a program she created on her own. She has also worked actively with the school's Office of Diversity, mentoring LGBT students, faculty and staff, and she sits on the board of Equality PA.
In her role as physician general, Levine will advise the governor and secretary of the Department of Health on medical and public health-related issues.
