About

Mark H. Kimmins

Mark H. Kimmins, MD, FRCSC, FACS, FASCRS, is the president of Natural Health Services, a patient-centred medical cannabis clinic, and the medical director of its parent company, Sunniva. He is a medical doctor who is board certified in both the U.S. and Canada and before entering the medical cannabis world, Mark practiced as a colorectal surgeon and teaching physician for over fifteen years in Seattle, Washington, and Anchorage, Alaska.
Mark's interest in medical cannabis started with a personal belief in the benefits of this natural plant and developed further with first-hand observation of the positive therapeutic effects in both patients and sick family members. His work now includes evaluating the medical cannabis literature and providing evidence-based education to both physicians and patients. He looks forward to the day when the stigma around cannabis is gone, and cannabinoids are widely acknowledged as legitimate medicine. Mark lives with his wife, three children, and multiple pets on the west coast of British Columbia.
