State House with Frank Santos

Dennis Borel, Executive Director of the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities provides insights into the work of a cross-disability organization that navigates the multifaceted realm of disabilities, chronic illnesses, and diverse age groups. Frank and Dennis discuss the importance of collaborative efforts, linking various disability-focused groups to amplify their impact on healthcare policy.

Frank, drawing from his experience in the pharmaceutical industry, shares stories about the challenges of pushing for accessible medicines and services. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between recreational and medical cannabis, discussing the consequences of unregulated alternatives like Delta-8.
