The Mavericks sit down with Dr. Teri Cassidy of Fitness to Drive which specializes in services for driver safety.

Dr. Terri Cassidy started Health Promotion Partners in 2018 in response to a need in the community. Many hospital-based programs for driver rehabilitation had closed across the state and families were left to make decisions about driving without comprehensive medical and performance-based assessment. Terri’s vision was to create a program where she could offer excellence in driver rehabilitation and expand the scope of services to work with drivers of all ages. The foundation of this vision is the belief that we can influence health throughout the lifespan by helping clients select and engage in meaningful life activities. Driving can be key to accessing those activities. We have driving clinics in Colorado Springs, Westminster, and Fort Collins.

The Mavericks are blessed to sit down with Dr. Christina Vaughan, Physician Lead at UCHealth Anshutz Outpatient Palliative Care Clinic, and Jennifer Desserich, Executive Director, Dignify Dementia.

Dignify Dementia started in 2022, to honor Ms. Desserich's dad, who was diagnosed with Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Parkinsonism in 2018. Ms. Desserich's and her mother have been the most active part of his caregiving community and we do all that we can to help him to stay safely in our family home. They plan to support him at home for as long as we possibly can, but that carries a great deal of patience and responsibility, which are not always easy to hold on to when you're a care partner.
