Deaths in Colorado dropped in 2022 but not to pre-pandemic levels

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:21:38 GMT

Deaths in Colorado in 2022 dropped from the high point set a year earlier, but still haven’t returned to pre-pandemic levels.The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reported 46,751 people died in 2022, down from 48,284 in 2021. In comparison, 39,318 people died in 2019, the last pre-pandemic year.The improvement was largely due to fewer people dying of COVID-19 than in 2021. Deaths from the virus dropped by more than 3,000, but were partially offset by more people dying of heart disease; cancer; influenza and pneumonia; chronic lower respiratory diseases, such as emphysema; and transportation accidents.Colorado and the rest of the country may still be seeing some effects from the pandemic, when people delayed care and adopted less-healthy lifestyles, said David Rojas-Rueda, an assistant professor at the Colorado School of Public Health and Colorado State University. It’s also worth noting that some growth in deaths from causes like heart disease is expec...

(AP Photo)When Maj. Gen. Maurice Rose, who lived in Denver, was killed in a World War II battle in Germany 78 years ago, his death and service to his country were front page news. Over the years, Rose’s stature and story dimmed from the public consciousnesses, but a newly dedicated memorial sculpture casts Rose, and his accomplishments, in a new light.At the time of his death, on March 30, 1945, and in years that followed, Rose, who was raised the son of a rabbi, was the talk of Denver, as well as Jewish and military circles. His men loved him so dearly, they raised funds, along with local Jewish leaders, to build a hospital — The General Rose Memorial Hospital, now known as Rose Medical Center — to honor the general who made the ultimate sacrifi...

Parker native Ally Schlegel continues to refine goal-scoring habits in rookie season with Chicago Red Stars

It’s a shame Chicago Red Stars forward Ally Schlegel hasn’t been able to work on her fly-fishing casting technique the same way she has her goal-scoring habits.If she was near any high-quality trout streams, her off-days would be settled.A passion Schlegel picked up while taking classes in Penn State’s legendary fly-fishing program has provided a few life lessons that also tie into her day job: Rookie forward in the National Women’s Soccer League.During one of her more memorable times spent on the water, there was one frustrating day where she noticed she was gripping the pole too tightly, wasn’t focusing on her technique nor the time spent outdoors. The next outing she came to realize what would be her ‘aha’ moment.“Being process-oriented and being process-driven is so much better and the end game is so much sweeter when you get that,” Schlegel said in a phone interview with The Post. “The next time I went out I was just l...

Believing too little is being done to thwart auto-related crimes in Colorado, some towns take action

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:21:38 GMT

Just as Roman Gutierrez was shaking off the first punch — his 1999 Subaru Outback wagon had been stolen last fall from his Westminster home — he received a second blow right to the gut.“The ignition was all busted out,” Gutierrez said after police found his car a few days later not far away. “The mechanics at the shop said, ‘You’re missing something else underneath.'”Not only had his car been swiped, but so had its catalytic converter. The vehicle was totaled.“There’s only so much you can do besides taking the battery out of the car,” Gutierrez said, bemoaning the recent spike in auto thefts and catalytic converter thefts that has bled into just about every Colorado community.Vehicle thefts in Westminster alone have exploded from 859 in 2020 to 1,259 last year.But the misery around auto-related crimes goes further than just theft and this city of 115,000 is determined to do something. Last week, Westminster passed on ...

Ambulance crews can’t avoid violence but at Denver Health, they’re trying to change the culture of ignoring it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:21:38 GMT

For as long as emergency medicine has existed, being physically assaulted has been part of the job.Talking about feelings that come after an assault, though? Not so much.That’s something that paramedics and others working in emergency medicine are trying to change, said Crystal Eastman, a paramedic instructor and “peer responder” at Denver Health. The sheer amount of violence discourages paramedics from reporting each time they’re assaulted, and the culture pushes them to act like it doesn’t affect them, she said.“Personally, I’ve been kicked in the chest, punched, spat on, had a knife pulled on me,” she said. “Our environment is uncontrolled, so we’re frequently out by ourselves, meeting people who are not having their best day.”Lt. Will Hargreaves, who oversees a team of about 15 paramedics at Denver Health and goes out on some calls, said on most days, an ambulance crew will have to restrain or sedate someone who&#...
