Mission Statement
“For millions of patients and the physicians who care for them, these therapies are not theoretical. They are already part of modern medical practice.” - Dr. Leigh Vinocur, NCCC Chief Medical Advisor
The National Compassionate Care Council (NCCC) is dedicated to modernizing the standard of care and bridging the gap between slow-moving regulations and the patients who need relief now. By prioritizing patients over paperwork, NCCC leverages real-world evidence and expert collaboration to advocate for safe, immediate access to physician-guided cannabinoid therapies for those who lack the benefit of time.
Our mission is simple: more healing, less waiting; real-world evidence. real-time relief. The Council is committed to advancing scientific understanding, supporting clinical research, and integrating innovative, cannabinoid-based treatments into mainstream healthcare and enabling engagement by universities and healthcare institutions.
Working with Medicare, private payers, and healthcare providers, NCCC advocates for those whose lives are measured in moments and for those who see regulatory delays not just as hurdles but as heartbreaks.
