Dr. Casey Means’ Senate confirmation hearing to become surgeon general was postponed Thursday after she went into labor with her first child, a committee spokesperson said. The Health, Labor and Pensions Committee will reschedule the session. Means, nominated in May after the White House withdrew Dr. Janette Nesheiwat’s nomination, co-founded the health app Levels and built a large online following after leaving “traditional medicine.” An HHS spokesperson said everyone is happy for her and noted this is one of the few times it’s easy to move a Senate hearing.
