Meet Charlie Kano, M.D.
the Medical Director of Hinds Hospice, Merced

My name is Charlie Kano. I have been in medical practice since 1994. I have been board certified in family medicine and have received the certificate of added qualification in hospice and palliative care medicine.
My responsibilities are many. They include seeing patients at my private office as well as teaching family medicine residents at Mercy Medical Center, Merced. I have been with Hinds hospice since 2005 and have been serving as associate medical director since 2007.
My outside interests include cooking and being with my twin boys, who are now 11 years old. I have a beautiful wife, Melody, who has been home schooling our children. She loves to sing and play piano.
