“Colorado doctors are changing the way they care for these babies,” reports CBS Denver anchor Britt Moreno. Moreno interviewed Colleen M Wheeler, a specialist in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine with Lutheran Medical Center, a CHoSEN Collaborative participating hospital, about change in practices to support newborns exposed to Opioids, as well as trends in Denver.

Moreno also sat down with a mother of two to talk about her experience being pregnant and trying to combat addiction in the hopes of reducing stigma surrounding getting treatment.
