PS2025 is the world's premier, hyper-immersive experience, counterculture and education conference on psychedelic research and innovation, presented by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). For those who have yet to attend, MAPS puts on a truly revolutionary event with multiple opportunities to immerse one or oneself into any one or more rabbit holes and become part of the change we all need to see in psychedelic expansion, mental health and post-traumatic stress processing.

Compassion Center, in conjunction with the Center for Incubation & Findings Research (CIFR), the Syndicated Investigators Delving Into Hallucinogenics Ethically (SIDHE) and the Integrative Providers Association (IPA), is proud to stand alongside MAPS and the global community of pioneers working to transform the future of integrative and traditional healthcare. Compassion Center will be exhibiting at the conference, while IPA members, guests and professionals exploring membership will enjoy a series of pre-, during and post-conference events inclusive of a hospitality suite compliments of the IPA and SIDHE, where industry researchers can mingle, get to know one another and share opinions.

As an exhibitor at PS2025, Compassion Center will showcase our cutting-edge psychedelic- assisted transmutation programs, research pathways, and other adjacent innovations in psychedelic and integrative medicine, while auctioning off amazing original artworks by the amazing Alyssa Vidal to help fund these amazing programs. Our presence at the conference represents more than just an opportunity to share our bodies of work-it marks a significant milestone in our research institutes', and our parent organization's journey from the medical cannabis clinic of the past to the integrative care provider clinic of the future.

About Compassion Center

Founded in 2001, Compassion Center is the oldest federally recognized nonprofit medical cannabis clinic system in the United States, dedicated to advancing integrative healthcare, mental health, and patient advocacy. Our mission is to bridge the gap between advancing evidence-based therapies and patient-centered care, ensuring that all individuals- regardless of income, background, or diagnosis- have access to safe, effective, and affordable treatment options. That goes beyond medical cannabis recommendations, too.

For over two decades, Compassion Center has led the way in medical cannabis advocacy, education, and clinical services, integrating endocannabinology, mental health, pain management, and holistic wellness into modern healthcare. Our pop-up and in-person clinics, along with telemedicine services, ensure that patients in Oregon, 18 other states and growing, receive the highest standard of compassionate, evidence-based care.

What We Do:

• Comprehensive Clinical Services - We provide integrative healthcare solutions for patients with chronic conditions, pain management needs, mental health concerns, and complex diagnoses, offering alternative therapies that go beyond conventional medicine.

• Patient Advocacy & Legal Support - We fight for patients' rights by working with State legislators, government agencies, and legal professionals to ensure that medical cannabis users are protected under state and federal laws. From court-related Amicus Briefs to aiding with expert testimony in family law cases, Compassion Center is a trusted advocate for patients navigating medical and legal challenges revolving around using medical cannabis.

• Interprofessional Continuing Medical Education (IPCE) - In partnership with educators at the Integrative Providers Association (IPA) and other trusted organizations, the Compassion Center educates healthcare providers on medical cannabis, alternative pain management, and integrative therapies, ensuring that today's clinicians, located all across the country are well-versed and well-equipped to serve their patients, naturally.

• Innovative Social Services Programs - Compassion Center is a proud partner of TeachOneServe10.org, an initiative that turns medical education into direct patient care. Through this disruptively innovative program, licensed providers give back to underserved communities while fulfilling their continuing education requirements-helping thousands of patients at no cost.

• Pioneering Research & Development - Our collaboration with the Center for Incubation & Findings Research (CIFR), the Syndicated Investigators Delving Into Hallucinogenics Ethically (SIDHE), the Community-Based Clinical Cannabis Evaluation & Research Network (CBCCERN) and the Glocal Cannabis Nursing Institute (GCNI), ensures that our clinical services, research and educational programs remain grounded in compassion, science and real-world outcomes.

Why It Matters:

Since our founding, Compassion Center has saved local taxpayers millions of dollars by reducing uncompensated care costs- while helping patients find effective, non-opioid treatment options- alleviating the strain on emergency rooms and public health systems.

By integrating research, education, and clinical services, we're not just treating diseases or their associated symptoms-we're changing the standards of care for future generations.

We are more than a clinic. We are a movement. Whether through community outreach, legislative advocacy, or cutting-edge research, Compassion Center and our group of entities and organizations are dedicated to reshaping healthcare into a more inclusive, affordable, and patient-centered system.
