Here's How To Enhance Marijuana Therapies: KindlyMD And Curaleaf Collab Provide More Resources And Information To Utah Patients

Healthcare data company KindlyMD, Inc. KDLY has teamed up with the U.S. cannabis giant Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. CURACURLF to provide educational resources and information with a community perspective on holistic pain management and treatment.

What Happened

KindlyMD said its providers will debut the KindlyMD Complete Care program, under which patients in Utah County and its surrounding areas would have the option to more easily access the medical cannabis care options offered by Curaleaf pharmacists.

Why It Matters

Tim Pickett, PA-C, founder and CEO at KindlyMD, said the goal of the new collaboration with Curaleaf is addressing the issue of the nation's opioid crisis and "negative impacts of addiction and overdose."

"As the United States government moves toward rescheduling cannabis as a legitimate medicine, this collaboration will help more patients find sustainable, safer, and more affordable healthcare treatment options,” Pickett added.
