Review for Compassion Center, Clackamas, OR, USA
Compassion Center is a great nonprofit that assist OMMA cardholders and community partners to successfully navigate the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program through clinics, support services and education (Compassion Center, 2012). I am interning there for my Family and Human Services degree. I love working and helping the population that Compassion Center assists. This is a service that I could see growing because there is a great need for their services.
