Like @migovernment, Oakland County is a proud to have partnered with @unduemeddebt to help residents improve their financial footing by purging their unpaid medical bills. Our latest round helped 20,000+ residents eliminate more than $15M in debt! mlive.com/news/2026/10/medic…

Medical debt erased for nearly 10,000 more Michigan residents

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced the third round of debt forgiveness Wednesday, with notices going out this week to nearly 10,000 residents who qualify based on income or debt burden.

Jon Witz and team did it again! Arts, Beats & Eats broke another fundraising record, raising $403,689 to help charitable agencies across Metro Detroit. In keeping with tradition, I directed a portion of these funds to the FernCare clinic for the uninsured. ow.ly/NiAh5100bhn

Oakland County is a mosaic of 63 diverse communities that are all striving toward the same goal to deliver great service to residents. I believe the only way to get there is collaboration, so I was happy to join local leaders during a summit to help them connect and share ideas.

The jet lag was worth the partnerships the @MEDC and my team gained for @OakGov and our state during our recent trip to East Asia. While strengthening key relationships with companies like POEN in Troy, we earned a sister city in Taichung City, Taiwan! ow.ly/w12t50ZW7xS
