Bryan Scott McMillan Featured in New Industry QandA, Calls for Greater Support for Grieving Families and Children Facing Medical Hardship
Texas, US, 26 Nov 2025, ZEXPRWIRE, Business leader and philanthropist Bryan Scott McMillan is the focus of a newly released in-depth interview exploring his three-decade career in the global medical device industry, his leadership approach, and his long-standing commitment to families facing grief and medical hardship.
In the feature, McMillan uses his platform to raise awareness for the growing number of families navigating loss, urging individuals and communities to “show up, listen, and offer support in simple, human ways.”
“I learnt early in life that challenges don’t wait for the perfect moment,” McMillan says in the interview. “What matters is how we support each other through them. Grief can feel isolating, especially for children. People need to know they’re not alone.”
A Growing Need for Support
According to the Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model (CBEM), 1 in 12 U.S. children will lose a parent or sibling by age 18. Grieving children are three times more likely to struggle with academic performance and twice as likely to experience mental health challenges if support systems are weak.
“When my wife passed away, I saw first-hand how devastating loss can be for a child,” McMillan explains. “The WARM Place helped my own family find steady ground again. That experience changed the direction of my life.”
McMillan has volunteered at The WARM Place since 2006 and at Camp Sanguinity for children with cancer and blood disorders. In 2018, he founded Families with Holes, a nonprofit dedicated to providing hope, guidance, and counselling connections for grieving families.
A Leadership Voice Turned Advocate
The interview highlights McMillan’s 30-year career leading medical device organisations through transformation, product innovation, and global expansion. But it is his commitment to service that now defines his mission.
“Leadership is not only about strategy. It’s about showing up for people — in business and in life,” he states. “The most valuable work I do today is helping families who are hurting. You don’t need a title to do that. You only need to care.”
A Call to Action: “Small Acts Change Outcomes”
Instead of fundraising or promotional appeals, McMillan emphasises actionable steps anyone can take to support grieving families:
- Check in consistently — even a short text or weekly call matters.
- Offer practical help — meals, school runs, errands, childcare.
- Listen without fixing — grief needs presence, not solutions.
- Share memories of the loved one — it validates their importance.
- Encourage connection to community support groups or grief programmes.
“Grief doesn’t follow a schedule,” McMillan notes. “The smallest act of kindness can change someone’s week. Most people underestimate the impact they can have.”

New Public Health Announcement from EMBIO Medical Center – The Link Between Smoking and Fertility
Chalandri, Attica, Greece, 26th Nov 2025 — EMBIO Medical Center, one of the leading fertility clinics in Europe, has issued a new public awareness message highlighting the significant impact of smoking on fertility for both men and women. With decades of experience and led by Dr. Thanos Paraschos, widely recognised as one of the best IVF doctor in Greece, the center emphasises the urgent need for lifestyle changes that protect reproductive health.
Extensive scientific research has identified smoking as a major threat to reproductive wellness. It contributes to oxidative stress, accelerates the aging of reproductive cells, and compromises the function of both the ovaries and testes. These effects can lead to difficulties in achieving pregnancy naturally and can also reduce responsiveness to fertility treatments. For individuals pursuing options such as IVF or ICSI, smoking has been associated with lower embryo quality and decreased implantation rates, underscoring the importance of eliminating tobacco use before beginning any fertility journey.
“Smoking is one of the most harmful factors for fertility, affecting both men and women. It can reduce the quality of both eggs and sperm, and make natural conception or the success of a fertility treatment more difficult. Taking care of our health always begins with our daily habits..” added Dr. Thanos Paraschos.
As fertility challenges continue to affect a growing number of couples worldwide, EMBIO Medical Center encourages the public to take proactive steps in safeguarding their reproductive health. Through awareness campaigns, expert consultations, and personalised treatment plans, the clinic remains committed to supporting individuals and families on their path to parenthood.

San Diego, CA, 26 Nov 2025, ZEXPRWIRE, Roger Haenke, an ordained priest and registered nurse with a long record in healthcare leadership and education, is beginning a new chapter focused on community support and local engagement. His work has spanned hospital administration, nursing leadership, teaching at San Diego State University, and years of pastoral service. This next phase builds on those experiences while shifting attention to broader community needs in the San Diego region.
Roger’s career has always centered on service. He began in parish ministry, then moved into clinical work and leadership roles in major healthcare systems across Minnesota, Washington, and California. His roles included director-level positions in perinatal and neonatal services, clinic operations, senior services, and community health programs. He later joined the nursing faculty at San Diego State University, where he taught leadership, financial management, community nursing, and professional development.
This new chapter brings those strands together. Roger plans to focus on work that strengthens local connections, supports underserved groups, and promotes well-being across communities. The direction reflects his long-standing commitment to helping people navigate health, change, and personal growth. It also aligns with his experience guiding teams, supporting families, and mentoring students.
Roger’s years of ministry have shaped his approach. His work has emphasized presence, reflection, and care. His nursing career added structured leadership, quality improvement, and education. This combination positions him to support community efforts that value stability, inclusion, and shared purpose. While the specifics of this phase will develop over time, Roger’s focus remains steady: helping people feel seen, supported, and connected.
He plans to continue engaging local organizations, supporting community programs, and drawing on his background in healthcare and leadership to strengthen collaborative efforts in San Diego. His intent is simple: use decades of experience to give back in ways that reflect the needs of the community today.
