105 wordsAll Latest News, Health and WellnessKyle Wegner, Supply Chain General Manager at The Weitz Company, has been named chair of the 2026 Central Iowa Heart Walk, where he will lead a regional initiative with the American Heart Association to expand CPR education and engage local employers in building a “community of lifesavers.” The event, scheduled for June 6, 2026, at DMACC’s Ankeny Campus, aims to raise funds for research and training while promoting CPR confidence, as only 39% of Americans report feeling highly capable of performing the skill. The effort supports the Association’s Nation of Lifesavers movement, which seeks to double out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates by 2030.
