Where you go for health care, lunch and legal advice is important, but who is behind the services you rely on in your daily life is equally important. The businesses you choose to help you through events in your life are more than faceless entities. Many of the people behind those businesses are your neighbors, your friends, co-workers and community leaders who strive to make Oklahoma a better place to live for everyone. These are their stories.
These are the Faces of Oklahoma.

Tulsa Higher Care Clinic
Tulsa Higher Care Clinic is the first medical practice to start seeing eligible patients for the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Program. This compassionate, patient-centered organization provides comprehensive medical consultations for the use of medical cannabis. Patients will be seen by Dr. Jason Sims, who will determine whether medical cannabis treatment would be of benefit for a patient’s medical condition, especially if the patient has not found substantial relief from medications such as opiates and/or invasive conventional medical procedures. Unlike traditional modes of therapy, the use of THC with high cannabidiol (CBD) content and/or medical cannabis has proved to be a safer, low-risk, naturally therapeutic alternative for a multitude of chronic and debilitating medical conditions and ailments. At Tulsa Higher Care Clinic (THC2), patients can see a recommending doctor to begin establishing a bona fide or ongoing relationship, as outlined in the rules and regulations of Oklahoma State Question 788.
