Marc-David Munk

Marc-David Munk (born 1973) is an American Canadian physician and healthcare executive who, according to the Advisory Board, a US healthcare consultancy, has "a reputation as an innovator in primary care." [1]

Munk is the founder of Boston-based Creemore Group, a healthcare innovation lab and advisory firm, and is an executive in residence at several national/ international healthcare companies where he guides healthcare services development.[2] Munk is also an entrepreneur in residence at Harvard University's Innovation Labs [3] and is an advisor/ board member to several healthcare startups. [4] Since 2019 he has served as the President of Toronto-based Carlin Foundation, which supports research and program development in the areas of neglected tropical disease and vaccine-preventable illnesses. [5]

Munk previously served as the Associate Chief Medical Officer at CVS Health and Chief Medical Officer of its ambulatory care subsidiary MinuteClinic.[6][7][8] His hire was, according to journalists at Bloomberg, “a sign that the drugstore chain is serious about providing more medical services directly to consumers" [9] noting that “Munk could be just the person to help CVS figure out how to upgrade their model."[9]

Prior to joining CVS Munk was the Chief Medical Officer at Iora Health, a Boston-based primary care company that has been mentioned by the New York Times and Wall Street Journal for its innovative and effective care model.[10][11] "The startup has gained an early reputation for providing high-quality care to seniors, with the goal of keeping them out of the hospital and lowering costs.”


Munk has been recognized as a thought leader in the area of value-based, consumer-facing healthcare. His blog, American Healthcare [12] was a finalist for the National Institute for Healthcare Management’s 2015 digital media award. His subsequent book, American Healthcare: A Physician's Notes ISBN 978-0-69-212633-2 was published in 2018. [13]
