A neurologist and Parkinson’s disease specialist has made nearly a dozen visits to the White House Medical Unit, visitor logs show, raising new questions about President Biden’s fitness for office as he battles efforts to push him off the 2024 ballot.
Dr. Kevin R. Cannard, a Bethesda neurologist and movement disorder specialist affiliated with Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, visited the office of the White House Medical Unit ten times dating back to November 2022, the visitor logs show.
The logs, last updated on July 1, show Dr. Cannard visited the White House most recently on March 28.
Dr. Cannard met mostly with Megan Nasworthy, a medical liaison between the White House and Walter Reed. On Jan. 17, 2024, he met with Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician who treats Dr. Biden.
Dr. Cannard’s first White House visit, on Nov. 15, 2022, involved a meeting with Dr. Joshua Simmons, an emergency medicine specialist associated with Walter Reed and the William Beaumont Army Medical Center.
The purposes of Dr. Cannard’s visits are not disclosed in the logs and it is not known whether the visits were at all related to the president’s health.
