FoliEdge Academy course content will form an important element of Aleafia Health’s scalable, cannabis health and wellness ecosystem, integrating with the Company’s medical cannabis clinic network with 60,000 patients seen to date.

Tyrie has spent over twenty years in major companies rolling out insurance technology solutions that allow consumers to get the coverage they need and to make the customer experiences best in class for sales, underwriting and claims.
“Aleafia Health’s asset-light, technology driven cannabis health and wellness ecosystem is built for global scale. The introduction of FoliEdge Academy cements our horizontal diversification strategy and will see Aleafia Health connect with consumers within the large organizations that our educational solution is geared towards,” said Aleafia Health CEO Geoffrey Benic.
“As the cannabis space continues to evolve, there will be an ongoing need for education and training that both engages and remains flexible and adaptable enough to move with the industry and the needs of large organizations,” said D2L President and CEO John Baker. “We’re thrilled to work with an industry leader like Aleafia Health to help support their ongoing health and wellness mission.”
“FoliEdge Academy is a key pillar for Aleafia Health. As the cannabis market evolves, education of employers, unions, clinicians, medical professionals, patients and consumers is essential to success,” said Tyrie. “I am excited to join the team and to launch FoliEdge Academy.”
