What happened
CMS published a “Stay Healthy with Dr. Oz” video on May 20, 2026, in which Administrator Mehmet Oz and CMS Chief of Staff Stephanie Carlton demonstrate squats. In CMS’s description, the squat is one of the best weight-bearing exercises people can do to build strong muscles and bones.
Why it matters
The “Stay Healthy” series is Oz’s preventive-care pitch in his own on-camera style — the television doctor’s format carried into the administrator’s office — and CMS presents these short installments as part of how the agency under Oz sells prevention and everyday movement to the Medicare public.
