Co-Founder, and VP of Special Projects University of Alberta, Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy
Kit Poon is one of the Co-Founders of Mint Health + Drugs, and Vice President of Special Projects.

Through his previous work he was able to identify lapses in the communication between pharmacies, and their customers.
Having found a more efficient, and community based approach, Kit brought the idea of Mint Health + Drugs to his brother Peter, and his friend from university Ron. Together they helped build, and create Mint Health + Drugs.
Kit was the original managing partner of Mint’s first pharmacy in Stony Plain. He has also held leadership roles on provincial pharmacy boards.
For the last 15 years, Kit along with the other founders, have been committed to their goal, and vision of creating a community in the pharmaceutical world, that follows their core values.
