CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2019 / The recent success of the healthcare stock market can be attributed to the fact that companies in the healthcare industry are looking into new innovative approaches and technologies to better improve their offerings for consumers. Whereas cannabis was previously condemned as a harmful substance, medical experts have released studies showing that medicinal cannabis can be used to reduce inflammation caused by inflammatory diseases, as well as help patients suffering from acute anxiety, and countless other uses. In addition to the medical field shifting towards accepting medicinal cannabis, the healthcare sector, overall, has placed more emphasis on investing in the patient and their quality of life. If these trends continue, companies in the healthcare industry could see an influx of investors looking for lucrative opportunities. Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI), Immune Design Corp (NASDAQ: IMDZ), Valeritas Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: VLRX), and Aphria Inc (NYSE: APHA) represent four healthcare companies determined to advance their industry into the future.
