SouthernWorldwide.com – Dr. Janette Nesheiwat has begun a new position at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where she will treat U.S. service members and veterans, calling the appointment a “profound honor.”
Havana Syndrome refers to a set of unexplained neurological symptoms reported by American diplomats and their families overseas. Investigators have suggested a hostile foreign actor could be using a directed‑energy weapon, but the exact cause remains under review by U.S. intelligence agencies and congressional panels, with no conclusive findings yet.
“Several members of my family served in the Korean, Afghanistan and Iraq wars,” Dr. Nesheiwat said. “Their sacrifice taught me deep respect for the military, making care for soldiers and veterans at Walter Reed especially meaningful this Memorial Day weekend.”
Board‑certified in both family medicine and urgent care, Dr. Nesheiwat also volunteers in the emergency department of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
She earned her medical degree from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and completed a family medicine residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where she was selected as chief resident.
During the COVID‑19 pandemic, Dr. Nesheiwat led front‑line medical teams in New York City. She also coordinated public‑health responses to seasonal flu outbreaks, the opioid epidemic, the monkeypox emergence and other large‑scale health crises.
Dr. Nesheiwat was appointed the first female medical director of CityMD in Manhattan, one of the nation’s largest urgent‑care networks.
She was previously nominated to serve as U.S. Surgeon General, but the nomination was withdrawn after a difference in ideology regarding her pro‑vaccine stance.
After the withdrawal, she said she looked forward to continuing to support President Trump and collaborating with the administration in a senior policy role, emphasizing that her focus remains on improving the health and well‑being of all Americans.
