Standout South Florida Physician Dr. Rudolph Moise Endorses Amendment 2

Doctor Rudolph Moise, DO., MBA., JD., a longtime leader in the South Florida medical community, is expressing his support for Amendment 2 and the medical use of marijuana.

Dr. Moise is an advocate for helping patients in desperate need of alleviating pain, nausea, seizures and other symptoms associated with cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis among other ailments. He is speaking out about the benefits of medical marijuana in order to encourage voters to approve this needed amendment.  He is also eager to see other Florida physicians lend their support to this effort because he believes it would help them provide the best care possible for their patients. 

 “Americans are suffering with pain every day and medical marijuana is a safe, measured and regulated way for severely ill patients to be more comfortable and improve their quality of life,” said Dr. Moise. “What voters don’t know is that communities with medical marijuana availability have actually seen decreases in crime, in deaths from prescription painkillers, and even reductions in teenage use.”

 “The majority of Americans, more than 160 Million in 23 states plus the District of Columbia, have the legal right to choose medical marijuana when recommended by their physician for debilitating conditions. However, in Florida the elderly and residents who seek to relieve their suffering with cannabis are considered criminals. This is just wrong and inhumane,”
said Dr. Moise.

"Having a physician of Dr. Moise's stature come out in favor of Amendment 2 confirms what we have been saying all along: There is strong support at the highest levels of the medical profession for what we are trying to accomplish," said Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager at United for Care.  "Dr. Moise understands Amendment 2 is the right thing to do for both the doctors and their patients because it puts medical choices in their hands, not in the hands of politicians."
Dr. Rudolph Moise is the President and CEO of Comprehensive Health Center, LLC a large primary health care practice with centers in Dade, Broward and Central Florida. He practices family medicine and pain management. He is also the CEO of Physician Access Urgent Care Group (PAUC), a Managed Service Organization (MSO), which manages 40 medical practices in South and Central Florida. Dr. Moise has received multiple awards from several organizations around the country. In 2005 the South Florida Business Journal named him one of the five finalists for the “Best Physician of Year” award. He is a member of multiple boards, including The Dade County Medical Association, United Way of Miami Dade County, Jackson Memorial Foundation, and North Shore Hospital. He recently retired from the Air Force Reserve after 21 years of honorable service as a Colonel and Flight Surgeon.
