Our Vision
The vision of Changing Winds Consulting is to create a pathway for pioneering ideas to flow East to West or South to North reversing the historic directional norm. We believe that community-driven health programs based on human centered design developed in low and middle-income countries offer solutions to failures of the U.S.’s health care system particularly for last mile populations.
