Meet the Provider & Founder
Claudette Faucher-Charles APRN, FNP-C
I have been a practicing Nurse Practitioner for 8 years and before that a nurse for 7 years. I began my career as a nurse practitioner in Colorectal and general surgery before transitioning to behavioral health-care. I witnessed the benefits of medical cannabis on post-surgical patients and those with debilitating diseases. I also saw the devastating effects of chronic narcotic use and encouraged my patients to seek alternative therapies. I believe in the multitude of benefits of medical cannabis and that patients must treated holistically; mind, body, and soul.
