Kelly K. McCann, MD, MPH is a triple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Integrative Medicine, with additional certifications in Functional Medicine and Medical Acupuncture. She is the founder of The Spring Center in Costa Mesa, California, where she specializes in complex chronic illness, including Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), mold and mycotoxin illness, Lyme disease, and environmentally acquired conditions.
A graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine and one of only 35 physicians worldwide to complete the residential fellowship at the University of Arizona’s Center for Integrative Medicine, Dr. McCann brings together rigorous medical training with a lifelong inquiry into the deeper nature of healing. She has hosted multiple international summits on MCAS and allergy-related illness and serves on the boards of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and is a Founding Board member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness.
Dr. McCann’s work is informed not only by decades of clinical experience, but by her own journey through chronic illness, including Lyme disease, mold exposure, and mast cell activation. This lived experience, combined with her Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology, has given rise to what she now calls The Unforgetting Project: a new healing paradigm that bridges functional medicine with spiritual psychology.
Through this lens, symptoms are no longer seen as malfunctions to suppress, but as meaningful signals guiding individuals back to their innate wisdom, vitality, and wholeness. Her work invites a deeper, more enduring form of healing, one that restores not only the body, but the person within it.
