TORONTO, May 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (CSE: LHS) (OTCQX: LHSIF) ("Liberty" or the "Company") today announced the successful opening of its Cannabis Education Center ("CEC") in Tampa, Florida. The Tampa location becomes the third CEC to open in the state as part of the Company's strategy to roll its unique patient-centric dispensaries across Florida. Liberty's newest CEC will be conveniently located within a private hospital that sees approximately 15,000 patients a week.

"This is a very exciting day for Liberty with the opening of the Tampa CEC happening just hours after our grand opening ceremony celebration for our St. Petersburg's CEC that we opened a couple of weeks ago," said George Scorsis, Director and CEO of Liberty. "The Tampa location, located within a private hospital, provides the greatest level of convenience and access for the patients visiting the hospital. Our unparalleled service and approach to patient care sets Liberty apart as we continue to execute on our aggressive growth strategy for Florida, with additional locations to be announced in the coming weeks."

The Tampa CEC is the second CEC serving the greater Tampa-St. Petersburg area, an area that has experienced significant growth over the past few years and has a current population of almost 3 million residents.

Liberty's Cannabis Education Centers offer patients access to high quality, clean and safe pharmaceutical grade cannabis. Each location provides exceptional patient care through a comprehensive educational platform that includes tools, resources and compassionate one-on-one consultations geared towards informing patients on medical cannabis use. 

All of Liberty's CEC locations in Florida will offer a wide variety of products and brands, such as Aphria, Mary's Medicinals and Incredibles Edibles. These products will provide patients in need with a variety of options to meet their needs across all state-approved methods of cannabis consumption including vapes, oils, tinctures and capsules.
