The Holistic Center was created with one goal in mind: To provide expert medical care in order to obtain electronic medical marijuana certificates or cards. For many, easing their suffering involves turning to medical marijuana. Patients can encounter multiple obstacles on their way to attaining a medical marijuana card, and beyond offering a convenient central location in Boston, The Holistic Center can accelerate the journey toward securing one. Any Massachusetts resident who is fighting cancer, AIDS, ALS, or another qualifying illness may schedule an appointment with one of The Holistic Center's Massachusetts-certified physicians. Along with compassion and encouragement, a patient will receive a physical evaluation, a heart-to-heart dialogue about cannabis as a treatment option, and a consultation about its proper use. The Center can then assist the patient in maneuvering the bureaucratic roadblocks that may prevent him or her from feeling better and experiencing a greater quality of life.
