Stroke Awareness! Do you know the signs? Good thing trevis knew ther signs.....as a result, she is living today with very little effeects from a stroke she had in March.  I also spoke with her ER Nurse, Kelly Bergstrom.

Trevas Stark, 60, of Brighton achieved in 44 minutes what takes most stroke patients 90 days … she began experiencing the reversal of her massive stroke symptoms, thanks to quick recognition of her symptoms and the fast action by the stroke team at Platte Valley
Medical Center.

For my Front Range Focus piece this week, I interviewed Nina Martinez, the Director of Streets Hope---a transitional  housing facility and non-resident program that enables women coming out of the sex trade industry to be nurtured in a safe, holistic environment, allowing them to make changes that will take them away from their former livelihood and direct them to healthier lifestyle options.

FRONT RANGE FOCUS AIRS ON KBCO AT 11:30 SUNDAY NIGHT.

IT ALSO AIRS ON SUNDAY MORNING AT 6:30 ON KOA

AND 6 AM ON KHOW AND 760 KKZN.

They serve Women leaving sexually oriented businesses, such as prostitution, escort services, exotic dancing, and pornography.

Street’s Hope recognizes when women want to leave the sex trade industry, they often do not have the financial and emotional resources to do so. Women need a comprehensive approach to the complex issues that brought them into the industry. True healing is possible for women leaving the sex trade industry allowing them to have a meaningful future.
