"Our collaboration with Aqualitas is a powerful way to deliver this medicine to veterans, and to work as part of a team with a truly patient-centred licensed producer to further assist veterans on their healing journey.

Veterans For Healing provides ongoing support to veterans, first responders, and their families. They spearhead research, social programs and innovative treatments vital to veterans coping with trauma and rehabilitation issues.
