File:C. Everett Koop, 1980s.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:C. Everett Koop, 1980s.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 14, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-10-14. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:59, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Predecessors/successors

Seems like this article could use one of those boxs that show his predecessor & successor as Surgeon General. T-bonham (talk) 05:37, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
