Leadership Profile
Chanda Hinton's interest in alternative health care started in 2003.
Her spinal cord injury had compromised her health to the degree that her weight had dropped to 59 pounds, she had chronic pain and her immune system had depleted to a dangerous level leading to 911 emergency care and numerous doctor visits.
Chanda and her sister decided to take the actions they discussed regarding her particpation in alternative health treatments.
As a yoga instructor, Crystal was privy to valuable resources. In the following months, Chanda's engagement in acupuncture, massage therapy, nurtition and physical therapy, enabled her to gain 20 lbs. and become almost pain free. In addition, her endurance, strength and movement have increased dramatically.
Medicaid, which is a primary insurance that people with diabilities often have to turn to for healthcare and homecare expenses created by their disability, will not yet fund alternative treatments.
Due to her once unimaginable improvements in her health, Chanda is dedicated towards having these treatments access for others.
That dedication has created The Chanda Plan Foundation.
