Description

Geriatricians – doctors trained to treat older adults – are scarce. We meet Dr. Erika Altneu, of Salida, who discusses "deprescribing" and battling loneliness in one's later years. Then, dads answer the call for tutors at one Denver school. And CPR's former resident poet, David Rothman, shares "The Radio Poems: Transmissions from Colorado."
