Dr. Rachel Levine made history on Tuesday when she was sworn in as an admiral to the US Public Health Service.
"I am honored to serve as the first female four-star officer of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the first openly transgender four-star officer to serve across any of the eight uniformed services," Levine said at the swearing-in ceremony.
In March, Levine became the highest-ranking openly transgender official in the US as Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services. We cats PURR.
