SageHealth Network on CBC's The Current

SageHealth Network Executive Director, Michele Cauch, was featured on the CBC Radio Show, The Current.

Sex and Seniors - Documentary
Across Canada, seniors are staying healthier and living longer. Add such drugs as Viagra to that mix and it's no surprise that they're more sexually active too. But that can create problems. The rate of HIV infections among Canadians over fifty has doubled in the last ten years. And with the number of seniors expected to double over the next 40 years, that's a significant public health challenge.

Susan Bell is a freelance documentary producer. She's spent some time with one senior citizen who's on a quest to find a boyfriend and she joined us from Montreal.
