Penticton, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2018) - Green Mountain Health Alliance Ltd. ("Green Mountain" or the "Company") the large-scale, low-cost, quality cannabis wholesaler announces Marisa Cornacchia BA, RN, COHN(C), DOHS, MBA, DOMP, as Chief Clinical Affairs Officer.

Cornacchia brings a strong clinical and business background in the cannabis industry to the company. She has previously held senior positions in two cannabis companies, including being part of the team to bring a cannabis organization public.

"We are pleased to welcome Ms. Cornacchia to Green Mountain." said Wade Attwood, President, Co-Founder and Director of Green Mountain. "Marisa's expertise in strain identification and experience in developing coordinated care programs is invaluable to Green Mountain. Working with end users to identify effective strains is critical to anticipating consumer demands for our wholesale products."

Cornacchia responded, "I am invested in the future of Green Mountain. The company's greenhouse growing model will produce premium cannabis using full spectrum light and energy in its natural cycle to develop a plant with higher concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes while reducing the carbon footprint of the industry. ; The product will be as natural as possible. The natural growth cycle plays an important role in the development of cannabinoids, terpenes and overall potency which is an important factor for the medical user who is looking for standard dosing, Having met the whole team I am confident that Green Mountain can deliver the large scale quality product that is needed."

Cornacchia is a practicing nurse and osteopath who has focused on pain management and complex disease care, with a specific focus on addressing natural medicine versus opioid use. She has developed a coordinated care model that delivers early intervention, functional restoration and re-integration protocols. She will continue to develop this with Green Mountain. Working with Dr. Geoffrey Smith, who is on the Advisory Board of Green Mountain, and the Grower team and Quality Assurance team, will enable the company to produce the quality strains that are needed. Cornacchia's clinical work with thousands of veterans has been transformative and continues, and Green Mountain plans to work with all its partners to implement her expertise, including our Indigenous partners.
