TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 2, 2017) - Canada's leading cannabis healthcare service, GrowWise Health, has just signed a significant agreement with Canada's largest medical clinic, the Oshawa Clinic, that will see the GrowWise brand expand even further across Canada when it begins offering its services to the 100,000-plus patients on the clinic's roster beginning in June. With over 130 doctors on staff across its four locations, the Oshawa Clinic Group will soon be offering its patients access to medical cannabis education assessments and treatment for chronic pain and many other conditions commonly treated with traditional pharmaceuticals. "This is a very significant agreement," says Harvey Shapiro, CEO of GrowWise Health. "We not only offer qualified specialists and an educational component to patients seeking cannabis as a treatment option, but we also offer physicians a place to refer their patients, namely White Cedar Medical Cannabis Doctors, to determine if their patients qualify for medical cannabis." One of the biggest challenges facing patients today is access to cannabis assessment services and education. GrowWise Health, and its affiliated company, White Cedar Medical Cannabis Doctors, has been filling that gap in the healthcare system. With as many as eleven education centres in Canada and plans to expand in the coming months, the latest GrowWise Health clinic that will co-locate within the Oshawa Clinic Group now make its services available to an ever expanding patient population. The number of medical marijuana patients in Canada has more than doubled in the last year with over 130,000 Canadians now registered and patient registrations continues to grow at 10% per month on average. This trend clearly demonstrates that not only is the stigma of cannabis beginning to disappear, but attitudes within the medical community are now changing dramatically.

So there's just over 200,000 patients to date and this clinic has 1/2 of them??  I call bs

wrong gr8balls. Read it again. Agreement is with Oshawa Clinics. It is a clinic with 100k patients. Doesnt say anything about them currently being med marijuana patients.

Hmm...For a company that is only licensed to produce 2100KGs of medical dry leaf with the phase 2 that should be completed this June, and who had to put new patients on the waiting list, they sure appear aggressive in their patient acquisition.

Hopefully a sign of good news to come

[cressco]

Yes. I agree that we are due for some news very soon: oil license, increase in medical growing capacity, and a temporary whole sale deal of some sort...glta
