DPTV is focusing on this situation this evening with a film by Michael Kirk “Caring for Your Parents”. This documentary chronicles the efforts of five families with senior parents and the issues they grapple with while trying to provide care for their aging parents. This informative look at these challenges airs at 9 PM and will re-air at 2:30 AM Thursday morning. For those with High Definition, our HD channel, 56.1 will air this program tonight at 9 PM, Thursday at 11 AM and again Sunday the 6th at 9 AM, giving you more options for viewing.
Health care seems to be in the forefront of most discussions these days and we realize this. I received so many calls Monday from people who caught a part of Sunday’s “Unnatural Causes” series asking when it was being shown again that I also wanted to address that. There currently is not a re-air date for any of the series. For those watching on the Analog channel, it’s a “one shot” deal with each episode. Coming up Sunday is the second of four episodes “When the Bough Breaks, Becoming American.” This episode focuses on black and white infant-mortality rates and also examines the health of Mexican immigrants who arrive in the U.S. in better health than Americans and their health decline over time. This in depth exploration of America’s racial and socioeconomic inequities in health airs Sunday at 7 PM. HD viewers will be able to catch this episode on Thursday the 3rd at 10 PM with a re-airing at 1 AM Friday morning.One other subject that has come up a lot this week is the fact that Priscilla’s Yoga Stretches disappeared this week. Priscilla devotees fear not. Priscilla will be back soon due to popular demand. I’ll update you here as soon as I know the “restart” date or you can check the schedule at dptv.org.
As always, give us a call at Member Services for any questions you can’t find the answer to on our website! We’re in the office Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM to help you.
