## Resource

Delaware is making a bold move to protect its residents’ health by launching a new Surgeon General’s office — one of just six states with such a dedicated role. With over $1 million in funding and Governor Matt Meyer’s backing, the state is investing in proactive public health leadership. Dr. Neil Hockstein, a seasoned ENT specialist and health policy veteran, takes the helm next week, tasked with crafting a strategic plan to tackle cancer and heart disease, expand healthcare access, and streamline barriers to care. His mission? To turn Delaware into a model for evidence-based, community-focused health improvement — starting with urgent campaigns like lung cancer screenings and building a stronger, smarter public health system.
