House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy

Do you believe conversations can heal? I do. I’m U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. When I was growing up, my father would make “house calls,” bringing medical care to patients at home. The relationships he built with his patients through conversation were an essential part of healing. On House Calls, I carry forward this tradition. In each episode, I take my guests off-script to explore how they navigate the messiness and uncertainties of life to find meaning and joy. By sharing openly what’s on our minds and in our hearts, we can find strength and healing through connection.

    Dr. Francis Collins: How Can We Restore Our Faith in One Another?

    Do you feel you can no longer talk with people who hold different opinions? Has anger become the predominant tone? If we want this to change, how can we as individuals, change the way we talk and connect when we differ?   Dr. Francis Collins is a pro at stepping into spaces that many of us are avoiding right now. He’s remarkably good at finding common ground with people who think differently than he does. You may know Francis as one of our nation’s greatest scientists. The former director of the National Institutes of Health and a physician-geneticist, he led the the National Human Genome Research Institute and successfully led the effort to sequence the human genome. He is also known for his landmark discoveries of the genes responsible for critical diseases like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s Disease. His recent book, The Road to Wisdom, centers on principles he considers essential for navigating today’s polarized society: truth, science, faith, and trust. He finds both faith and science as essential for exploring this challenging question of how we connect with each other across divides. For Francis, love, beauty and goodness lie at the foundation of who we should be as humans. We should use our time together to experience these with others. In this episode of House Calls, Francis shares his own stories of finding common ground and establishing genuine friendships, even in the face of fundamental disagreement. Drawing from his experience as a scientist and as a man of faith, he offers strategies for building relationships that lean on a positive view of humanity, and that free our minds from the negativity of social media, to re-create a society that feels better to all of us. As Francis says, “We the people are the solution to what has happened to we the people.” A talented musician, Francis ends our conversation by sharing a song he performed with famed opera singer Renée Fleming. Written during the Civil War, the song was created to bring the country together during a time a great division. It remains so relevant today. (03:24)    Why is Francis Collins known as “The Singing Scientist?” (05:21)    What’s the connection between music and the brain? (12:07)    How does Francis Collins view the divisions in our country? (18:25)    What can we, as individuals, do to build connections with people who think and feel differently? (24:46)    What are some strategies for having meaningful conversations across differences? (28:35)    How did a friendship blossom from a conversation referred to as “a meeting with an elitist and a deplorable”? (35:11)    How can we remove hostility from our dialogue? (43:05)    How has Francis Collins’ book club become a safe space for him? (45:41)    Why is it important to Francis Collins to help people? (48:37)    What is the role of faith in Francis Collins’ life? (52:16)    What don’t people talk more openly about their faith experiences? (54:43)    Why don’t we talk more about values? (01:01:22)    Why is the Civil War-era song Francis Collins and Renée Fleming sing still relevant today? We’d love to hear from you! Send us a note at ⁠housecalls@hhs.gov⁠ with your feedback & ideas. For more episodes, visit ⁠www.surgeongeneral.gov/housecalls⁠.  Dr. Francis Collins, Scientist & Former Director, NIH About Dr. Francis Collins Dr. Francis Collins is a physician-scientist.

    Best of House Calls: Supporting Parent Mental Health

    How does parents’ mental health influence their kids’ mental health? Why are parents today feeling so overwhelmed? How can parents let go of trying to be the perfect parent? As the father of two young kids, parenting is a common theme the Surgeon General explores with guests. Given the resonance of the Surgeon General’s recent advisory on parent mental health & well-being, this episode digs into the House Calls archives. We revisit moments with guests including Dr. Lisa Damour and Dr. Aliza Pressman, as they share their expertise—walking through great practical advice about navigating disagreements with children, warning about the impacts of technology, and examining how parents and children share their nervous systems—while also sharing moving personal parenting moments. (02:47)    How are parents feeling these days? (03:35)    Why are parents so often feeling overwhelmed? (07:00)    How does parents’ mental health influence their kids’ mental health? (09:28)    How should parents think about their role in their kids’ mental health? (12:43)    How can men support each other to be more connected fathers? (18:42)    Why should we embrace being an imperfect parent? (20:58)    Why is it helpful to think through goals for parenting?
