My heartfelt congratulations to the Central Michigan University Class of 2026! I was deeply honored to return to my alma mater as your commencement speaker—and so grateful to receive @CMUniversity’s honorary Doctor of Public Service degree. As you step into what’s next, lead with purpose, choose what and who matters most, and build a fulfilling life in service to others. #CMU

Strokes happen suddenly. Knowing what to look for and acting fast saves lives. Learn the B.E. F.A.S.T. signs and if you see any of them, call 911 right away.
@HCAHealthcare Foundation is a national supporter of Together to End Stroke(R).

As a cardiac arrest survivor, Greg, and his daughter Erin, know firsthand that when every second matters, access to an AED and CPR training can mean the difference between life and death. #HeartsontheHill
