PITTSBURGH - A medical cannabis health care network will begin taking appointments to certify and evaluate patients in Pittsburgh on Friday.
Nearly 200,000 patients are estimated to qualify for Pennsylvania medical marijuana cards under the Department of Health registry that was announced in November, according to Compassionate Certification Centers. Notifying the patient and caregiver registry is the first step people must take before getting a prescription.
