Eastern PA Trans Equity Project Praises Nomination of Dr. Rachel Levine

Allentown, PA, January 21, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Today, Eastern PA Trans Equity Project joined a coalition of LGBTQI+ and allied organizations in endorsing the nomination of Pennsylvania Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine for Assistant Secretary of Health in the Biden Administration.

“As a graduate of Harvard and the Tulane Medical School, a Professor at the Penn State School of Medicine, former Surgeon General of Pennsylvania, President of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and the current Secretary of Health for Pennsylvania she has all the credentials one could ask for,” said Corinne Goodwin, Executive Director of Eastern PA Trans Equity Project. “As a person of transgender experience her nomination is groundbreaking, but the truth is, she has the experience and tools needed to serve the citizens of our nation - and that is what matters most,” Goodwin continued.

Eastern PA Trans Equity Project is confident that Dr. Levine is one of the best possible candidates to serve as Assistant Secretary for Health in this time of extraordinary demands on our public health system and strongly urges the Senate to confirm this appointment as soon as possible.
