We were honored to sponsor the Bronson Cancer Care Spring Fling this evening, supporting efforts to raise funds for Bronson's cancer care programs.

Together, we can help make a difference for patients and families in our community.

How can mindfulness support healing and growth after a stroke?

Dr. Lori Gray, Associate Professor and Program Director for Holistic Health and Contemplative Well-Being, explores that question in her newly published research featured in a special issue of *Healthcare* focused on life after stroke.

The study highlights psychological resilience, personal growth, and thriving through a mindfulness-based stroke recovery model developed through years of research and community engagement.

Congratulations to Dr. Gray and her collaborators on this meaningful contribution to stroke recovery research.

From student to rising star. 🌟
