SAN ANTONIO, TX, Sept. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Alternate Health Corp., ("Alternate Health" or the "Company") (CSE:AHG) (OTCQB:AHGIF), an international leader in software solutions for the medical cannabis industry, announced today the launch of its FlorPass medical cannabis online shopping portal with Liberty Health Sciences in Florida.

"With the launch of the system's e-commerce and digital transaction features, FlorPass is transforming how patients shop for their medical cannabis online," says Dr. Michael Murphy, Chairman and CEO of Alternate Health. "As the only medical cannabis e-commerce system approved by the Florida Department of Health, we have established an innovative model with the ability to capture the statewide market for digital cannabis transactions."

Alternate Health and Liberty Health Sciences gained approval from the Florida Department of Health in August to offer medical cannabis e-commerce features. The FlorPass online shopping portal has launched for certified patients in St. Petersburg and Tampa with plans to quickly expand to additional locations before the end of October.

"We are excited to be the first in Florida to provide FlorPass, a cutting edge, secure online shopping experience for our diverse collection of premium cannabis products," said George Scorsis, CEO of Liberty Health Sciences. "This is not only a functional way to do transactions, FlorPass will help us grow our business by building better relationships with our patients and enhance overall patient satisfaction. We will continue to invest in state-of-the-art technology to support the development of our products and remain committed to providing guidance and continued care throughout the entire patient experience."

Alternate Health anticipates strong revenue potential from FlorPass and is aggressively expanding its market presence throughout Florida. FlorPass is the first-mover for medical cannabis e-commerce in the state, following the activation of digital transaction capabilities, which positions the Company to take the lead in developing this promising market.

The FlorPass Electronic Medical Records ("EMR") platform launched in clinics and doctor's offices throughout Florida in 2017, quickly gaining support from the state's medical community. Following a strong endorsement from the American Medical Marijuana Physicians Association (AMMPA), Alternate Health rapidly onboarded new physicians, clinics and patients. As of September 2018, FlorPass has over 7,500 patients registered in the system.

With innovative security and compliance features, FlorPass greatly increases the efficiency of the Florida medical cannabis industry. The system offers patients, producers and regulators a full suite of digital tools to manage and facilitate all transactions within Florida's medical cannabis economy. As a cloud-based, blockchain platform, FlorPass is easily scalable to capture market share throughout Florida.
