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
A New Year with overflowing gratefulness. I’m grateful for my honey of 48 years. We still enjoy the time we have together. Ann went per diem as an occupational therapist. No return until we’re both vaccinated. We adopted a dog, JoJo, a rescue Basenji mix. He’s a 25-pound lap dog, part cat – possibly my mother reincarnated – an insatiable seeker of attention and considerable fear of being left out - sweet and loving, a substantial addition to our family and another living being in our flat. We miss visitors terribly.

I’m playing my sax more than ever. Weekly lessons since March, studying with Jeff Harrington, sax professor at the Berkeley College of Music. We’ve been working together for ten years—fantastic coach and cheerleader. I’m still playing regularly with Lechuga Fresca, a Latin Band,
