“We are extremely pleased with the progress made since the launch of our website to attract and register patients at such an accelerated rate,” noted Gordon Fox, CEO of Emblem Corp. “We believe that our patient growth is a favorable reflection on the quality of our cannabis products, our customer service and our physician and patient communication strategies.”
Emblem is also pleased to report that GrowWise Health, Emblem’s cannabis healthcare vertical, is continuing to expand its clinic network. “GrowWise clinics and cannabis education centres promise to become an important source of patients for Emblem,” says Fox.
With physicians becoming more comfortable referring patients and embracing cannabis as an alternative treatment, GrowWise is quickly expanding its presence across Canada. Thus far in 2017, four new GrowWise locations have opened their doors to patients across Ontario and in British Columbia, bringing the total to 11 clinics, with more locations scheduled to open across the country in the coming months.
