United Patients Group Offers Virtual Hand for Patients and Businesses
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 09, 2014 -- During the month of August 2014, United Patients Group (UPG) is running an educational campaign that emphasizes its pioneering high-touch way of conducting business that advertisers, patients and caregivers respect and expect.
“We offer guidance and support from the moment you contact us until you reach your own comfort level,” said John Malanca, owner and founder of UPG. “Our niche is a unique business model, so people are confused. Our team is constantly fielding inquiries from people who ask where our dispensary is located, or want to know which products we carry.”
Malanca says the majority of our callers are seeking help for seriously ill patients who are living with debilitating conditions like epilepsy, cancer, pain and auto-immune conditions.
“These patients and their caregivers are often desperate and confused about the cannabis treatment process,” said John. “We do much more than just point them in the right direction––we provide one-on-one guidance and support until they are comfortable with the process.”
John said the emotional element of dealing with chronic disease is often absent or forgotten in the medical field, so he and his staff make themselves available by phone or Skype to listen and provide needed empathy and guidance. “This virtual hand-holding is what is needed in the industry today, and we’re happy to fill that niche.”
UPG will highlight the following patient and business service offerings during the next few weeks:
UPG PATIENT SERVICES
UPG is a one-stop resource for information and guidance for patients or caregivers in all stages of the cannabis treatment process. UPG helps facilitate patient choices in the following ways:
• The UPG Website encourages those considering medical cannabis therapy to stop by the group’s 'Patients Room' for answers to common questions about getting started. Check out UPG’s 'Resources' page for more detailed information.
• One-On-One Consultation by UPG offers emotional and logistical support to medical cannabis patients in the U.S. and worldwide. People who seek out cannabis treatment are going through very difficult times—emotionally and physically—and the array of treatment options and products can be overwhelming. As dedicated patient advocates, the staff at UPG is available to listen and give empathetic support.
• A ‘Virtual Hand’ is extended by UPG that guides patients and caregivers through the entire cannabis consideration, acquisition and consumption process. A one-hour phone or Skype consultation helps patients decide if cannabis is right for them or a loved one, gives ways to find local cannabis providers, teaches how to get registered and identifies the best product and ingestion method to consider. UPG also does a follow-up check with patients once they get started.
