On Friday, October 13, the Mississippi Hospital Association (MHA) and Hagwood and Tipton (HAT) Law will collaborate on an upcoming workshop concerning updates, legislation, and policy in the medical cannabis space. Dr. Kirk L. Kinard, D.O., will join us to dive into the realm of medical cannabis for the treatment of chronic illnesses and debilitating pain conditions.
