Alternate Health Invited to Present at the American Medical Marijuana Physicians Association's Annual Conference

TORONTO, Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Alternate Health Corp ("Alternate Health" or the "Company") (CSE:AHG) (OTC:AHGIF), an international medical cannabis company that uses best-in-class technology, research, education, production and laboratories to increase the awareness, regulatory compliance, and appropriate usage of cannabinoids in modern medical practices, today announced that the company will present at the upcoming AMMPA Annual Conference just outside Orlando, Florida.

"Following the AMMPA's historic endorsement of Alternate Health's CanaPass Patient Management System, we are proud to announce the launch of FlorPass at the AMMPA Annual Conference," says Dr. Michael Murphy, CEO of Alternate Health. "FlorPass is the latest version of the CanaPass system, adapted to the legal and regulatory environment of medical cannabis in the state of Florida."

Alternate Health's Chief Legal Officer, George Mull, will be presenting on the importance of transparency and regulatory compliance in prescribing medical cannabis. With an expected audience of hundreds of physicians, George Mull will demonstrate how FlorPass is a unique and powerful tool to combine the spheres of strong clinical oversight and strict legal compliance.

FlorPass's key feature is the way it connects patients, physicians and cannabis producers in one system, supporting transparent records of all prescriptions, transactions and medical data. Alternate Health's recent addition of the Blockchain Ledger to the system gives FlorPass an unrivalled level of transparency and regulatory oversight across the industry.

"Our system offers physicians, patients and government officials the oversight and data they need to adapt to Florida's new medical cannabis regulations," says Dr. Murphy. "FlorPass is the perfect tool for Florida's medical cannabis community,"

AMMPA Annual Conferences attendees will have the chance to demo the software and see how FlorPass can assist doctors in improving medical cannabis patient outcomes at their practices. Representatives from Alternate Health will be available to answer questions about FlorPass and network with potential new users of the system.

The three-day conference is held annually by the AMMPA, offering doctors and medical professionals the opportunity to update and expand their knowledge regarding sophisticated diagnostic and practice guidelines, to share new ideas for evaluation and treatment techniques, and to increase the practitioner's knowledge and ability to act and advocate for patients within the current medical legislative and regulatory environment. Educational formats include lectures, PowerPoint presentations, panel discussions and Q&A sessions.
