Changing the System: How Chanda Hinton’s Advocacy Transformed Disability Care | Ep. 34
In this inspiring episode of Real Lives of TBI Wives, host Erika Brouillette sits down with Chanda Hinton, founder of the Chanda Center for Health, to discuss her extraordinary journey of resilience, advocacy, and transformation. After sustaining a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed at 9 years old, Chanda turned her personal challenges into a powerful movement for change, pioneering a new model of integrative care for people with disabilities.
Chanda shares how her lived experience led to the creation of her nonprofit organization and the legislative advocacy that resulted in groundbreaking Medicaid reforms in Colorado. These reforms now provide coverage for lifechanging integrative therapies—including acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic care—improving quality of life for countless individuals with long-term disabilities.
Through her story, Chanda highlights the importance of holistic wellness, the complexities of navigating Medicaid systems, and the need to treat the whole person. She also offers an exciting look at future expansions for the Chanda Center, continuing her mission to make comprehensive, compassionate care accessible to all.
