KnoWEwell, the global Regenerative Whole Health benefits and services company, is proud to announce the appointment of Patrick Hanaway, M.D., IFMCP, as its new Chief Medical Officer (CMO).

Dr. Hanaway is a pioneer in functional medicine and the former founding director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine. Dr. Hanaway brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise and focused research on evaluating the outcomes of functional medicine models of care through education and clinical care.

“Over the last eight years, I have come to know Kimberly Whittle, KnoWEwell’s founder and CEO, and have been watching the organization grow and flourish. I am excited to be joining KnoWEwell at a pivotal time in its growth and look forward to implementing transformational protocols and expanding our collaborative partnership through the Regenerative Whole Health Hub, a trusted, global ecosystem, community, and marketplace.”

Under Dr. Hanaway’s guidance, KnoWEwell aims to further its mission of transforming healthcare by empowering individuals, practitioners, and organizations with the Regenerative Whole Health knowledge, resources and ecosystem community to prevent harm and address the root causes of chronic disease. Dr. Hanaway’s leadership will be instrumental in expanding access to affordable, evidence-based protocols to promote WELLthier Living for members worldwide.

Ms. Whittle remarked on the milestone, saying, “Had I not seen Dr. Hanaway speak on functional medicine, my family might not have healed and KnoWEwell might not have been born. It is a great honor to have Dr. Hanaway join KnoWEwell's family as our Chief Medical Officer.”

In addition to Dr. Hanaway’s notable accomplishments, he has been initiated as a Mara’akame (Indigenous healer) by the Huichol people of the Sierra Madre in Mexico. He holds community fires, leads ceremonies, and offers traditional healing sessions. Ms. Whittle adds, “Dr. Hanaway’s work aligns seamlessly with KnoWEwell's vision to connect the dots between soil, food, nutrition, lifestyle, community, people and planet health and well-being to complement KnoWEwell’s goal of transforming healthcare.”
