For decades, American conservatives have lamented that the nation’s arts and culture are dominated by leftist perspectives. This narrow ideology has diminished the range, vitality, and quality of the fine arts while leaving audiences increasingly bored or alienated by high culture. But right-of-center artists, institutional leaders, and donors have failed to create a culture that celebrates their own traditions, religious beliefs, and civic vision.

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confirmed as the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, and if he carries out even part of his agenda, he will be a consequential -- and controversial -- cabinet secretary. I am concerned about some of his stances, including his record of objecting to vaccines, but in other areas, starting with addiction, his vision and values could transform lives.

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confirmed as the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in the Donald Trump administration, and if he carries out even part of his agenda, he will be a consequential—and controversial—cabinet secretary. I have deep concerns about some of his stances, including his record of objecting to vaccines, many of which are lifesaving. But in other areas, starting with addiction, his vision and values could transform lives.

In September 2018, I left my home in Washington, D.C., to spend a year in a small Rust Belt town to help with the opioid crisis. Like half of all U.S. counties, Lawrence County, Ohio, lacked a single psychiatrist. As a psychiatrist myself, I wanted to help. In Ironton, Ohio, population 10,300, I worked at a federally qualified health center run by the Ironton–Lawrence County Community Action Organization.
