Jason Mitchell, N.D., Co-CEO of HempFusion, explained: “This idea was originally inspired by the CEO of Verdant Oasis, Beata Jedrzewska, by asking the question ‘what more can we do to support those that so selflessly give themselves to help all of us?’ From there, the collaboration between HempFusion and Verdant Oasis began with Carl Germano, C.N.S., C.D.N., VP of Verdant Oasis, Medicine Hunter Chris Kilham, and the HempFusion team. Our goal was simple: Provide free nutritional products to the selfless frontline medical workers in New York City.”
The press release notes that New York City has been hit particularly hard, and the healthcare workers there are facing extraordinary stress, in addition to the physical dangers of working during the pandemic. The donation aims to help support these employees.

Mitchell continued: “We would like to thank all of the workers in the medical profession, hospital staff, first responders, and more who are working around the clock to save lives and take care of others during this challenging time. If you are a frontline worker outside of the NYC area, please stay tuned, as we are working on something for you in the near future.”Frontline medical workers and first responders can get their free HempFusion product while supplies last by showing their employment ID atWillner Chemist, 100 Park Ave., New York, NY 10017, from 8:45 AM to 5:00 PM Monday to Friday, and from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays.
