MedReleaf communicates with a variety of public and private groups and individuals. Our relations extend throughout the medical community, from physicians and nurses, to scientists, clinics, caregivers and patients. MedReleaf is also heavily involved in educational, social, and charitable events in support of the conditions our patients suffer from, including: Rethink Breast Cancer, Veterans Helping Veterans, and the Arthritis Society. As research evolves, the most important communication we have is with our patients. Shared testimonials, heart-felt stories, surveys and interviews are the most immediate way to prove the many applications and benefits of cannabis as a medicine.
