Dr. Caplan’s Take
“While financial restructuring at large [healthcare systems](https://cedclinic.com/australian-medical-cannabis-program-challenges/) like Tenet may seem disconnected from [cannabis medicine](https://cedclinic.com/essential-oils-industrial-hemp-antimicrobial-benefits/), these shifts often determine whether integrated clinics can actually operate cannabinoid services alongside conventional care, and I’ve seen promising outpatient models collapse when hospital systems deprioritize ambulatory infrastructure.”
