Each quarter, the progress is evaluated, measured and courses are corrected should any deviation occur.
While run by a 100% volunteer board, the Compassion Center has successfully effectuated measurable change for over 20 years on our federal, state and administrative levels serving millions of patients in the process through open collaboration, legislative action, professional education and healthcare innovations, changing the outcomes for millions and still counting.

CBCCERN and Compassion Center are at the forefront of cannabis and cannabinoid care, research and innovation combining education with clinical care, research and contract research organizations to facilitate management of trials, studies, evaluations and product validations to maximize a broad range of positive impacts for all.
Donations go further with CBCCERN and the Compassion Center by reaching more patients and charting more outcomes as a result of coordinated care delivery. No less than 80% of each and every dollar raised goes towards the actual research programs while in many cases those programs see over 90% of the source funding in all.
CBCCERN empowers the leading edge of medicine and Cannabinology by engaging providers who actually see their patients for treatment instead of working with clinicians who exclusively cater to the research, clinical trials or product evaluation side of medicine. CBCCERN trains each physician how to best standardize and organize their data.
Looking into the future, CBCCERN will be packaged into various forms to inspire unity and collaboration regardless of platform. For those who wish to integrate Cannabinology into their practice, and those who regularly practice it, CBCCERN will be the gateway to credible research, evaluation partners and data-driven results that can be traced out.
