How does one combine two completely different interests for a major?

Hey guys, I’m in a conundrum here. I love anything medicine and find it so facisnating. Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to do something in the healthcare field when I’m older. I’ve also developed an interest in politics ever since I was a kid (thanks Dad for always watching the news with me lol). So far, I’ve had extracurriculars that would support both fields, such as shadowing at a hospital, do research, and volunteering at STEM after school program as well as being in student council and getting the chance to intern with a local politician. My courses in HS have been all honors/AP with some years being more STEM focused and some being more Humanties. As I’m applying to colleges, I realized I don’t really know which major(s) can support both of these interest. So far I’ve been looking at majors such as Political Science, Public Health, and Global Health. I know for sure that I’m interested in doing a pre med track. Should I double major in something like PS and PH or should I do something like Political Science as a main major and then minor in something like Bio or Public Health? I’m also open to any other major/combination suggestions!
