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, inclusive of psychedelic-assisted therapeutics. 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 and psychedelic-assisted therapy 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 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) and their Community-Based Clinical Cannabis Evaluation & Research Network (CBCCERN), Syndicated Investigators Delving Into Hallucinogenics Ethically (SIDHE), and the Glocal Cannabis Nursing Institute (GCNI), ensures that our clinical services and educational programs remain grounded in tradition, 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 .
