Send us a text
Disability advocate and Chanda Center for Health founder Chanda Hinton joins RuthAnn to talk about living as a care recipient after a life-changing spinal cord injury, why caregivers matter more than they know, and how integrative care is changing what is possible for people with long-term disabilities. Together they explore honest topics like caregiver burnout, what actually feels supportive from the care recipient side, and how practical help for caregivers can shape real health outcomes. Plus, you’ll get a glimpse into Chanda’s advocacy to expand access to services in ways that clearly show her passion and make this an inspiring conversation to listen to.
