Dr. Marnie Hinton was a long-time Alberta physician, trained in Great Britain, who dedicated her life to physician health. She initially volunteered her time through the early days of the Alberta Physician Assistance Program, then became more formally involved as a triage physician with the Physician and Family Support Program of Alberta.
Dr. Hinton worked for many years at an Edmonton hospital site caring for an adult population with multiple issues focused on intellectual and concurrent severe behavioral challenges. She was known for her stamina and persistence with this often very challenging population.
Most notably, she worked for nearly 25 years with Canniff and Associates to support the Physicians Aftercare Program operated through the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Dr. Hinton always made herself available for phone calls or direct support to physicians struggling with addiction. She frequently volunteered her time to take new members to 12 step recovery groups in the Greater Edmonton area or offer her wisdom regarding healthy sobriety.
