"Columbia Care is proud to lead the way, demonstrating its commitment to providing access to all New Yorkers through continued innovation and by improving its product offerings and services," said Nicholas Vita, CEO of Columbia Care. "Home delivery provides a way for patients—especially those who are homebound or battling chronic, debilitating illnesses—to receive the medications they need without barriers or burdens of travelling to our dispensaries.

Our top priority is ensuring that our patients receive the medicines they need to improve their quality of life. This expansion reflects a significant step towards achieving that goal."
