Nimbus and Viva Care Medical Group Health form strategic partnership to offer cannabis access via telehealth to patients.
VANCOUVER, BC – April 12, 2019 – Nimbus, an information technology healthcare provider in the cannabis industry, and Viva Care Medical Group, a chain of clinics in BC, today announced a strategic partnership to integrate Nimbus’ telehealth offerings within Viva Care clinics and their online presence. This strategic partnership promises to improve access to medical cannabis education and authorizations to patients.
Nimbus (a telehealth provider based out of Vancouver, BC) will be bringing it’s secure and state of the art telehealth and education platform to Viva Care patients who are interested in accessing medical cannabis.
“Many family physicians are not yet comfortable with authorizing medical cannabis prescriptions for their patients,” states Nimbus CEO, David Pham. “As we work to help educate physicians, we will concurrently offer telehealth prescribing so that patients can access the medicine they need.” A survey of physicians in June 2018 by MD Analytics found that only 32% of physicians approved of cannabis legalization.
“Securing this exclusive agreement with Viva Care, a leading health clinic with over 10 locations in British Columbia, will allow for Nimbus to supply an industry leading telehealth solution that meets the growing demand for medicinal cannabis as an alternative and effective treatment offered to patients”, said David Pham, CEO of Nimbus.” Viva Care is also a telehealth care system that relieves patients of the need to travel around to find a suitable physicianand get speedy and continuous care. We look forward to building on this partnership.”
