## Resource

Children’s Hospital Colorado must start offering gender-affirming care again, according to the state Supreme Court. But it could face federal consequences if it does. Then, Governor Polis is under fire for commuting an inmate’s sentence – and it’s not Tina Peters. And, public health officials say a recent hantavirus death in the state is a reminder to be cautious, but not afraid. Email us at coloradotoday@cpr.org .
