Dr. Gillian Jones
My name is Dr. Gillian Jones. I am an Army trained board-certified neurologist with a non-traditional background in dance. The diversity of my experience has shaped my philosophy and humanistic approach to medicine and patient care. Shortly after I completed residency, I experienced my own decline in health which has ultimately given me a deeper source of empathy for my patients and their families. Following my time serving as an Army neurologist I began working in the field of cannabis medicine with Elevate Holistics. Through my interactions with patients I have heard countless testimonials of how cannabis has “saved people’s lives,” be it through reduced anxiety, improved depression, mood stabilization, decreased pain, restoration of sleep, improved mobility, decreased frequency of seizures, resolution of migraine, reduced tremor, or improved cognition and clarity of thinking, just to name a few. The common outcome is always improved quality of life. There is a critical role for medical marijuana in the management of numerous medical disorders and I am happy to be a part of Elevate Holistics and your journey to healing and restoration of balance in your life.

Patient Resources
April Hatch & The Cannabis Care Team
April worked as a nurse in acute care before obtaining a Master’s in Public Health Nursing. She knew the best way for patients to get well was to provide the education they needed to make their own informed health-care decisions. She has always focused on the whole person and holistic nursing, but it wasn’t until her son suffered a traumatic brain injury that she discovered how miraculous cannabis could be. April is Healer Certified, a member of the American Cannabis Nurses Association, a member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, a member of the Hospice & Palliative Nurses Association, and a member of the American Holistic Nurses Association. She has taken several courses on cannabis for Health Care Professionals, and received training in Maine with Dr. Dustin Sulak. She is most proud of the relationships she has with her patients.
