Former Pa. Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine, one of the nation's highest ranking transgender officials, has been named among the Women of the Year by USA Today. Levine, who helped shepherd the pandemic crisis in 2020, went on to be appointed to the Biden administration cabinet.
A four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, Levine becomes the nation’s first openly transgender four-star officer across any of the uniformed services of the United States. She leads a group of 6,000 uniformed public health officers, and is the first female officer to lead the corps.
Levine also fended off hateful, transphobic attacks both at the state and national level, but has maintained a“I have no room in my heart for hatred and, frankly, I do not have time for intolerance,” she said last year in the wake of verbal assaults.
