Kudos to the Obstetrics Initiative for their efforts to make a difference for Michigan women and newborns. Addressing elective c-sections, health equity and inequities, and more. This quote shared at today’s OBI meeting is particularly eye-opening. #OBI #maternalmortality

As a blood clot survivor and @BCBSM sponsor of a statewide quality improvement effort focused on improving anticoagulation care, I am thrilled to see the @TODAYshow promoting blood clot awareness. Great job to @GBarnesMD, Program Co-Director of @MAQI_2 for getting the word out!

Love those moments of pure bliss. In Cabo for my nephews wedding with my family, both my brothers families and their adult children and all the significant others. Couldn’t be happier. Enjoy the small moments #love #Family #contentment

We’ve not seen this much drama involving Kevin and a house since 1990. #Speakerofthehouse #KevinMcCarthy #homealone

Leadership in action. Addressing social determinants of health and smoking cessation prior to surgery. Great opportunity to engage people at engageable moments. Delivers impressive results to boot! @MichaelEnglesbe

And with one note, or scream to be exact, over 50 years were gone in an instant and Roger Daltrey and The Who were rocking Detroit. What incredible power in the voice of a 78 year old. Bringing down the house with the scream of a generation who has seen it all. #thewho #detroit

At the launch of today’s Blue Cross-sponsored statewide collaboration on suicide prevention. Such an important endeavor aiming for zero suicides. The statistics are eye opening. Thanks to Henry Ford Health for your leadership. @BCBSM @HenryFordHealth @michigan_mind
If you’re going to have a hero, aim high. 42 years ago today Terry Fox was forced to stop his cross Canada run after 3000+ miles. Ran a marathon a day with a prosthetic leg. Posthumously he met his goal to raise a dollar for cancer research for every Canadian. #terryfox #hero
Partner with strong leaders. Engage willing partners. Collect clinically rich information that allows hospitals and physicians to optimize their care delivery. So proud of the CQIs. Thanks to all our Michigan partners. @BCBSM @MichiganCQIs @rhowMD @MichaelEnglesbe @jamesdgrant

Absolutely nothing better than sharing beauty with those you love. My soul was soaring. #lighthouseimmmersive #vangogh #Detroit #rundontwalk

Good. Fine. Tired. Okay. All one-word responses to “how are you?” that we use to avoid real conversations. Showing your cards and being open/vulnerable invites conversation which is so needed these days. Both professionally and personally. @ChildrensFndn

First in-person conference I’ve attended in 26 months. Never been so excited to see pie charts and hear about variation in surgical outcomes in my life. @MSQCPSO @MPOGASPIRE #longCovidwinter
