Yesterday, I had a moving conversation with @naomiosaka, @MichaelPhelps, and @USTA President Dr. @BrianHainline at this year’s @usopen. Grateful for the chance to spend time together and to speak about the importance of #MentalHealth and connection.

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

This weekend, I challenge you to say “hi” to a neighbor or call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. These small acts of connection can help us mend the social fabric of our nation and build a world that values compassion and care for one another.
