American pediatric surgeon and public health administrator (1916–2013)
Charles Everett Koop (October 14, 1916 – February 25, 2013)[1][2] was an American pediatric surgeon and public health administrator who served as the 13th surgeon general of the United States under President Ronald Reagan from 1982 to 1989.
According to the Associated Press, "Koop was the only surgeon general to become a household name" due to his frequent public presence around the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s.[3]
Koop was known for his work on tobacco use, AIDS, and abortion, and for his support of the rights of children with disabilities.
