Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins swore in Dr. Ben Carson as the Agriculture Department's national adviser for nutrition, health and housing on Wednesday.
Carson is a retired neurosurgeon and is tasked with implementing the rural health investments included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in his new role.
"As we continue to do the work of Make America Health Again and the intersection of agriculture and [Health and Human Services] with Secretary [Robert] Kennedy ... there's no greater American who has lived the American dream in such a remarkable way than Ben Carson," Rollins told media outside the White House.
"The people who will benefit the most and perhaps be the most excited when they understand what this means are the American people, but especially the most vulnerable," Rollins added.
