Concierge Cannabis Certifications

Founded in 2024 by Dr. Ryan Grell, a board-certified Anesthesiologist and Obesity Medicine physician, the Kentucky Medical Marijuana Center (KYMMC) was established to serve as Kentucky’s trusted leader in medical cannabis certification and education. Dr. Grell’s interest in the therapeutic benefits of medical cannabis began during his residency in Boston, where he witnessed firsthand the positive impact it had on patients’ mental and physical well-being. As a member of the Board of Physicians and Advisors to Kentucky’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Dr. Grell played a key role in shaping the state’s Medical Cannabis Program, providing expert recommendations to both the General Assembly and the Governor.

​

In the summer of 2025, leadership transitioned to Drs. Jeremy Haysley and Wayde Gilmore—also board-certified anesthesiologists and staff physicians at KYMMC alongside Dr. Grell. Drawing from their extensive experience in managing acute and chronic pain in surgical settings, both have seen the devastating physical and mental effects of both undermanaged pain, and opioid dependence. Dr. Haysley's service in the United States Air Force also gave him firsthand insights into the far-reaching effects of serious mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Their commitment to offering safer, evidence-based alternatives led them to further Dr. Grell’s mission. Through KYMMC, they've confirmed their belief in the benefits of medical cannabis and hope to continue helping Kentuckians regain function, manage pain, and improve quality of life through access to medical cannabis.

KYMMC offers a unique focus on patient and disease-specific medical cannabis treatments, with the goal of improving the quality of life for Kentuckians while minimizing side effects.
