Mike Boyce, former chairman of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, has been hospitalized in Indiana after suffering two strokes.
Boyce and his wife, Judy, are in Indiana as fellows in the Inspired Leadership Initiative at Boyce’s alma mater, the University of Notre Dame. The Boyces’ fellowship at Notre Dame began in August 2021 and runs through May of this year.
Former Chairman Mike Boyce continues to recover from surgery following two strokes. He is hospitalized in Indiana. Like many in the Cobb family, Chairwoman Lisa Cupid has anxiously been awaiting updates. “My thoughts and prayers are with Chairman Boyce and his family during this difficult time,” Chairwoman Cupid said. “I am hoping he has a full and speedy recovery and also access to the best of care.”Bob Ott who served as a district commissioner during Boyce’s term as chair from 2016 to 2020, has been in touch with Judy who gave him an update.
According to Ott, Boyce was in a class session when he became ill Saturday and was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in adjacent Mishawaka.
“Saturday night he thought it was a bout of vertigo,” Ott said, but later a CT scan and MRI confirmed he had suffered two strokes.
Judy Boyce has been joined by the Boyces’ daughter Alison Cotsonika, but due to COVID protocols, family visits with Mike Boyce are limited.
Family and friends have set up a webpage to keep people informed on his situation. This can be found at https://www.caringbridge.org/
