“We are thrilled to congratulate Herbalife Nutrition board
member Dr. Richard Carmona on receiving the 2017 Cecilia and
Leonard Doak Health Literacy Champion Award for his work on
improving public health and wellness,” said Rich Goudis, CEO of
Herbalife Nutrition. “This recognition for his life-long commitment

In 2002, Dr. Carmona was nominated by the President and

17th Surgeon General of the United States. Dr. Carmona was selected
because of his extensive experience in public health, clinical
sciences, health care management, preparedness, and his commitment
to prevention as an effective means to improve public health and
reduce health care costs while improving the quality and quantity
of life.
As Surgeon General, Dr. Carmona focused on prevention,
preparedness, health disparities, health literacy, and global
health to include health diplomacy. He issued many landmark Surgeon
General reports during his tenure, including the definitive Surgeon
General’s Report about the dangers of second-hand smoke.
Dr. Carmona is a Distinguished Professor of Public Health,
Professor of Surgery and Clinical Professor of Pharmacy Practice
and Science at the University of Arizona. He previously served on
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs’ MyVA Advisory Committee to
improve the healthcare experiences of veterans as well as
Departments of Defense and Homeland Security work groups.
Dr. Carmona holds a medical degree from University of California
and a master’s degree in public health from the University of
Arizona. Currently, he serves as Chief of Health Innovations at
Canyon Ranch, and as a member of the board of directors at
Herbalife Nutrition.
