Florida Department of Health Approves Modern Health Concepts to Process and Dispense Medical Cannabis in Florida

MIAMI, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern Health Concepts (MHC), a South Florida-based medical cannabis provider, is proud to announce that the Florida Department of Health granted the company authority to process and dispense medical and low-THC cannabis.

Led by a team of physicians, pharmacists, and medical experts, MHC holds Florida's only license to manufacture and sell Haleigh's Hope™, a low-THC cannabis oil that has provided relief to patients suffering from severe epilepsy, seizure disorders, and muscle spasticity.

Haleigh's Hope oil will be available this month to patients enrolled in the Department of Health Compassionate Use Registry. Haleigh's Hope pre-filled oral syringes and capsules will be available later this year.  In early 2017, medical cannabis products will also be ready.

To make these products accessible to patients, Modern Health Concepts will offer a mobile delivery program as well as appointments at the company's initial dispensary in southern Miami-Dade County. Registered patients may schedule appointments online at www.modernhealthconcepts.com. MHC will launch additional retail locations in 2017.

"The Modern Health Concepts team has worked diligently to ensure that from seed to sale our medical cannabis products meet or exceed the state's safety and quality standards and, as a result, the Department of Health has approved Modern Health Concepts to process and dispense," shared Richard Young, Modern Health Concepts CEO. "We are pleased that by using the most medically precise and technologically advanced production techniques, Modern Health Concepts is ready to provide qualified patients in Florida with the relief they need from a source they can trust."
