The Alabama Medical Cannabis Association, a group advocating for safe, affordable and accessible medical cannabis for Alabama patients, announced a new partnership with the Healthcare Workers’ Compensation Fund (HWCF) and Harmon Dennis Bradshaw.
Effective immediately, qualified employers who are part of the Alabama Medical Cannabis Association can join Alabama’s homogeneous healthcare self-insured fund while providing their employees with best-in-class workers’ compensation coverage and services as they support and care for patients with qualifying, debilitating medical conditions in Alabama.
“This partnership allows employees of the Alabama Medical Cannabis Industry access to excellent workers’ compensation benefits as they perform their duties helping patients in need of care around the state,” said Margaret Nekic, President/CEO of Inspirien, manager of HWCF.
