About the Show
Welcome to Health Hats, learning on the journey toward best health. I am Danny van Leeuwen, a two-legged, old, cisgender, white man with privilege, living in a food oasis, who can afford many hats and knows a little about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. Most people wear hats one at a time, but I wear them all at once. We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life's realities in the awesome circus of healthcare. Let's make some sense of all this.

The Show
Celebrations 13, 20, 45
Much to celebrate this week. My oldest grandson turns 13, and his mom and dad celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. I officiated at the wedding in 2001. Mike, the couple’s brother, our son, and I played the Beatles tune When I’m 64, for the couple’s first dance. Mike would have been 45 this week - a different kind of celebration.
Reaching goals in life. All gravy from here.
My goals in life included being a good man to a good woman and raising children who grew to love strong partners while being solid parents. I’m thankful to have reached these goals. It’s all gravy from here. Reflecting, I’m overwhelmed with pride in and gratitude for our family and sadness that Mike didn’t experience these past twenty years. He famously quipped that he wasn’t born with a tattoo on his butt telling him how long he would live. Mike was in a loving relationship with a strong woman before he died. I have no doubt he would have been an inspiring father.  My sweet grandson draws from the best of his incredible parents, readily shows his love of his grandparents,
