Medical Cannabis Primer for Healthcare Providers with Dr. Kyle Kingsley from Vireo Health International, Inc. Vireo is a physician-founded, multi-state cannabis company, operating in Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Ohio, and is managing a rapidly expanding national footprint of manufacturing facilities and retail dispensaries. Our guest is Vireo Health CEO and Founder Dr. Kyle Kingsley. Dr. Kingsley was inspired to create Vireo after serving on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic in emergency rooms across Minnesota and seeing the positive impact for medical cannabis patients. Today, Vireo continues to remain focused on the medical cannabis market, more so than recent cannabis company IPOs. Dr. Kingsley is a board-certified emergency medicine physician and Chief Executive Officer of Vireo Health. Dr. Kingsley oversaw the implementation of the Vireo Health System in Minnesota with the construction of a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility, four dispensaries, and the pharmaceutical and patient care center models. Through Vireo Health of New York and other national startup companies, Dr. Kingsley has developed the leadership and healthcare management skills needed for large-scale endeavors across disparate processes. Dr. Kingsley is a co-author of the book Medical Cannabis Primer for Healthcare Providers, written to elucidate objective medical cannabis knowledge in the medical community. Using comprehensive, state-wide programs that integrate healthcare providers, Dr. Kingsley’s solitary goal is to make Vireo Health the safest, most reliable, and compassionate choice for the patients in all of the States in which the company operates.
