Dr. C. Everett Koop was one of the most iconic figures in U.S. public health—instantly recognizable by his beard and bow tie, but much less known for the deeper convictions that guided his work. Despite his groundbreaking contributions to pediatric surgery, tobacco control, and AIDS education, his full story has remained largely untold—until now.

In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we speak with Dr. Nigel S. Cameron, the author of the first full biography of Dr. Koop. Drawing on personal friendship and years of research, Cameron shares why he felt called to tell Koop’s story, how the book came to be, and what public health professionals today can learn from Koop’s moral clarity, courage, and complexity.
