The Surgeon General of California is the leading spokesperson on matters of public health within the State of California. The Surgeon General is one of only five State Surgeons General in the United States.

The first Surgeon General was Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, who served from February 11, 2019, to February 11, 2022.[3][4][5] The Surgeon General is one key component of the Governor's "California for All" agenda which includes a proposed $1.7 billion in funding for expanded early childhood education and early interventions. Governor Newsom appointed two National Experts in Child Development to be Key Leaders in the effort to help the youngest Californians.[6]
