CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2019 / The healthcare stock market has been a hotbed of excitement in the first few months of 2019 as companies in the industry have focused their efforts on developing innovative technologies and treatments for consumers. The fact of the matter is that without our health, everything else becomes ancillary and unnecessary. Consumers depend and expect healthcare companies to invest in new forms of drug treatments and other aspects of the care experience so that, when a patient needs care, they don't have to look very far. Recently, the healthcare sector has focused on working with artificial intelligence and machine learning to help hospital administrators sort through patient data. Simply put, the future maintenance of humankind rests in the hands of the healthcare sector, and if companies in the space continue to innovate as they have this year, investors looking for lucrative opportunities could benefit from paying close attention. Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI), Arcturus Therapeutics Ltd (ARCT), Sesen Bio Inc (SESN), and Regulus Therapeutics Inc (RGLS) are 4 healthcare companies making moves on Thursday.

Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI) is a company determined to develop innovative approaches that combine human skill-based expertise with state-of-the-art technologies to offer to their patients the best possible treatment solutions and primary care. At a time where consumers depend on healthcare companies to provide quality care solutions, Premier Health is prepared to meet the needs of its patients.

Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI) made headlines yesterday when the Company announced that it has initiated integration of CB2 Insights' medical cannabis Clinical Decision Support tool. Per the details of the initiative, the agreement will give the more than 4600 physicians and healthcare practitioners using Premier Health's Juno EMR platform access to the industry's only medical cannabis-specific CDS tool. CB2 Insights' CDS tool is designed to help incorporate medical cannabis into their patient's treatment plans.

Following the announcement, Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI), stated, "we are dedicated to finding new ways to create value for our physician network. We continue to receive multiple requests from physicians who ask about how best to incorporate medical cannabis into their clinics. This agreement with CB2 will provide us a robust, validated tool to give our physicians and healthcare practitioners a safe and secure way to qualify, educate and where appropriate, prescribe medical cannabis to their patients in a compliant manner."
