Lift Resource Centre Now Open in Brampton, ON Providing Cannabis Education and Access to Medical Practitioners Under the MMPR

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2016 / Lift Resource Centre (“Lift RC”) has opened its doors to patients seeking medical cannabis as a treatment option for their conditions. Located at Unit 203, 36 Vodden St. East in the heart of Brampton, Ontario, the clinic provides patients from Brampton and surrounding areas access to Lift RC services, including on-site physicians, patient consultations, cannabis and medical education, and medical documents for qualified patients under Health Canada’s Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR).

Patients seeking medical documents for the treatment of their condition or for a renewal of their medical document will first meet with our Registered Practical Nurse Cannabis educator on-site, who is trained to assess patients and confirm their diagnosis through supporting documentation from the patient’s primary physician. If a patient qualifies through the intake process they will then visit with a physician on-site. If the patient’s condition is deemed suitable for medical cannabis treatment according to the guidelines outlined by the MMPR and Provincial medical regulatory bodies, they will receive a medical document and work with the Cannabis educator to register with any of the Licensed Producers under the MMPR. Cannabis educators will work with the patient through all stages of registration as well as follow-up care of the patient during their time with Lift RC.

The Lift RC does not charge patients a private fee for either on-site physician visits or medical documents. Patients with a valid Provincial health card must simply bring their health card to each on-site physician visit. The typical length of medical documents written are 3-6 months. This is done to ensure we work closely with the patient in both following up the care of the patient while being treated with medical marijuana as well as addressing any health issues in a timely manner. Typical first appointments take 60 minutes.

The goal of the Lift RC will be to continue providing access to patients across Canada through Provincial health covered services and by working with all Health Canada approved Licensed Producers to provide patients options that work for them.
