President-elect Donald Trump met with Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Jerome Adams Monday, driving speculation that Trump could appoint Adams to an open seat in his administration.

On Twitter Adams wrote that the two discussed healthcare, community health, and the cost-saving benefit of prevention efforts.

Adams tweeted once more about the meeting, saying this:



Lots to do nationally, but focused now on working on with @LGHolcomb and @GovPenceIN to keep Hoosiers healthy!
