Facing Disaster After Disaster, the American Red Cross C.E.O. Stays Optimistic

October 10, 2020

It helped me in my career. There were 50 women and 1,900 men. I had a great education there, but what it really also taught me was what it felt like to be the only woman in the room. I don’t remember taking any classes where there were other women. So you learn how to hold your own, because you have no choice.

What did you learn from the corporate world that you’ve been able to apply to your work at the Red Cross?

What is really profoundly different at a nonprofit is that you really have to not only lead with your head, you have to lead with your heart. If you explain the changes you are making through the lens of the mission, people will do anything for you. But they need to know, and understand, how their actions are going to impact the mission.

President Trump called into Sean Hannity’s show on Thursday night and, while giving vague answers to questions about his health, suggested a rapid return to the campaign trail that could violate public health guidelines.

Mr. Trump said he wanted to hold a rally in Florida on Saturday — just two days away — and another rally the following night in Pennsylvania. He went on to say he was in “great shape” — even as he paused on a few occasions and seemed to cough or clear his throat — and again presented the monoclonal antibody treatment he received as a miracle cure, even though there is no clinical trial data to evaluate its effectiveness.

He did not give a clear answer when Mr. Hannity asked if he had tested negative for the coronavirus: He first said he wouldn’t get an “actual test” until Friday, then suggested that he had already

President Trump, who was admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday for COVID-19 treatment, said in a four-minute long Twitter video on Saturday night that he is feeling “much better.” “I think I’ll be back soon,” he said.

Mr. Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said in a statement late Saturday that while Mr. Trump is “not out of the woods,” doctors are “cautiously optimistic.”

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said on Fox News late Saturday that he and Conley were “very concerned” about Mr. Trump’s health on Friday, and the president’s oxygen was dropping “very rapidly.”

A source familiar with the president’s health said earlier Saturday that his vitals over the past 24 hours were “very concerning” and “the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care.”

“We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery,” the source

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota survey explores attitudes and behaviors among the state’s age 64+ population

EAGAN, Minn., Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Even after many months of living with the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, Minnesota seniors say they are maintaining a positive attitude and are determined to stay focused on good health. That’s according to a new poll release by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.

In its Three Questions, Three Answers series, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Laura Kubzansky discusses the link between optimism and hypertension. Kubzansky, who is co-author of the study, is the Lee Kum Kee Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences and co-director of the School’s Lee Kum Sheung Center for Health and Happiness.

Q&A: Laura Kubzansky

CHAN SCHOOL: What did your study find?

KUBZANSKY: In a population of relatively young and healthy U.S. Army active-duty soldiers, we found that those who tested highest for optimism at the start of the study had a 22 percent lower risk of developing hypertension during three-and-a-half years of follow-up than those who scored the lowest. We know that people in the military are more susceptible to early-onset hypertension because of the stressors associated with their jobs (for example, combat exposure), so it was striking to see that much of a
