He was a four-star admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and served as the tenth Assistant Secretary for Health, and the sixteenth Surgeon General of the United States.
Satcher was born in Anniston, Alabama. At the age of two, he contracted whooping cough. A black doctor, Jackson, came to his parents' farm, and told his parents he didn't expect David to live, but nonetheless spent the day with him, and told his parents how to give him the best chance he could. Satcher said that he grew up hearing that story, and that inspired him to be a doctor.
