About the Reorganization

Founded in 2001, Compassion Center reached its 25th anniversary in June 2026, a milestone few charitable organizations see, in the same year the federal government moved state-licensed medical cannabis to Schedule III and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services launched its first cannabinoid access pilot for seniors. Those are the first federal steps toward what this entire organization was founded on establishing and has worked a quarter century for: patients accessing cannabis as medicine, with their care covered. The work continues.

Over that same quarter century, Compassion Center’s leadership grew the organization from a single clinic into a management services, research institute and clinical care system serving patients in more than 18 states, working with stakeholders across integrative healthcare to build a clinical access point for patients, an empowerment and an educational platform for providers and practitioners, and co-founding the Integrative Providers Association and the IPAC conference series along the way. In 2024, Compassion Center became the first clinical organization in the history of the VA/DoD Suicide Prevention Conference authorized to deliver accredited interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) on medical cannabis and psilocybin, lecturing on those and other integrative modalities to clinicians, mental health providers and leadership drawn from across the continuums of care of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense nationwide. (Read more.) It is progress, but it’s not enough: there are countless patients that are still suffering, and there are real barriers that are still standing between them and receiving the care that they need to live their best lives.

The Board of Trustees has elected to reorganize Compassion Center completely, from the top down and the bottom up, to close all gaps in continuity, strengthen risk mitigation, streamline processes and bring discipline to intellectual property protection and chain of title. Every role in the organization has been reset so that all the collective workloads are balanced, covered, and consistent with the organization’s policies and the demands on its future. All non-clinical programs are paused pending that reorganization. The Office of Accountability & Transparency, the Center for Incubation & Findings Research, MSOplus, Integrative ECS, and the medical cannabis clinic that has served patients for more than 25 years continue without interruption, so that continuity of care is maintained at all times. The clinic division does not change.

The reorganization was first noticed to our board and stakeholders in November 2025, following the passing of our President, Julie Monteiro; was directed by the Board of Trustees in September 2026; and was ratified by the Board of Trustees in open session on October 23, 2026. For operational security, data security, infrastructure and mission integrity, every position has been reset on the same terms, without cause, and every organizational email and their Google Workspace account has been frozen pending clearance by the Office of Accountability & Transparency for restoration, redirection, or archival. Every person who served is eligible for consideration for future service through a single, uniform process. Pending matters are confidential. 

We are grateful to everyone who has served. Thank you for making Compassion Center one of the greatest places on Earth to work and thrive.

Who speaks for the organization

During this reorganization, only the Transition Administration is authorized to speak for the organization. You may confirm the authority of any individual by contacting [email protected]. 

 

Matters related to the Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) can be directed to [email protected]. All OAT matters are strictly confidential and remain unaffected by the reorganization.

Ratified by the Board of Trustees Oct. 23, 2026 · Letters of authority issued Oct. 26, 2026 by the Transition Administration

Reorganized charters expected within 90 days · Then the uniform pathway opens.

Register, Inquire or Report

One minute. Use a personal email; organizational accounts are frozen.

This inquiry goes to the Transition Administration, the body the Board of Trustees has authorized to carry the organization through its reorganization and the single point of contact for Compassion Center and its sibling organizations while it runs. During the reorganization, no one else is authorized to speak for, sign for, or make commitments on behalf of any of the organizations. If someone has represented themselves to you as acting for one of them, you can confirm their authority here or by emailing [email protected].

 

Use this form if you are a vendor, contractor, or partner with a question about an existing obligation, invoice, or contract; a regulator or agency; a member of the press; or anyone else with a question about the reorganization. Existing obligations continue to be honored; please include your reference number, contract, invoice, or matter number so your inquiry reaches the right file without delay.

 

Three things this form is not for. Patients: it is not for medical questions, appointments, or anything about your care; use the scheduling button above, write to [email protected] for scheduling only, or call the clinic. Former team members: it is not the pathway to future service; use the registration form. Reports of misconduct, safety concerns, or anything you want handled confidentially: those go to the Office of Accountability & Transparency through its own report form, not here.

 

What you enter here is used only to respond to your inquiry and is held by the Transition Administration. Please do not include health information.

 

The Transition Administration will acknowledge your inquiry from [email protected] within seven business days. Please add that address to your contacts so the reply is not filtered. Press inquiries receive the organization’s public statement; pending matters are confidential.

 

Thank you for your time, your consideration, and your contribution to the betterment of tomorrow.

This registration goes to the Transition Administration, the body the Board of Trustees has authorized to carry the organization through its reorganization. It is the single way to be considered for future service with Compassion Center and its sibling organizations, and it is the same for everyone: every executive, director, officer, manager, employee, contractor, and volunteer whose appointment ended in the reorganization registers here, on the same terms. Prior service confers neither priority nor exclusion. Eligibility is determined through one uniform process administered through OAT credentialing and the reorganized charters the Trustees will adopt, on commitments, qualifications, and the requirements of each role, and on nothing else. Registration is complete when the final report is received. 

 

 

Registering is not an application for a particular position and is not an offer or promise of any role. When the uniform process opens, and when the reorganized charters are adopted, you will be notified at the personal email you give here and told what it asks of you. Expect a conflicts disclosure to be part of it. Because organizational accounts are frozen pending OAT clearance, please use a personal email and phone; that is how you will be reached, including when your former account is cleared for restoration, redirection, or archival.

 

 

What you enter here is used only to respond to you and to notify you when the process opens. It is held by the Transition Administration, shared with OAT for credentialing when the process begins, and not shared otherwise. Please do not include any health information or anything you would want treated as confidential; this form is not the place for it, and anything of that kind belongs with OAT through its own report form. 

 

 

The Transition Administration will acknowledge your registration from [email protected] within seven business days. Please add that address to your contacts so the reply is not filtered.

 

 

Thank you for your time, your consideration, your commitment, and your contribution to the betterment of tomorrow.

Every person whose appointment ended in the reorganization is asked for one final report to the Office of Accountability & Transparency: your observations and concerns regarding the organization, its policies, its leadership, and its stakeholders; three specific things, in each of five areas, that the organization, your direct supervisor, the Chief Executive, and you yourself could have done better; and an account of your own performance and contributions that you would like taken into consideration. It is required to complete a registration of interest in future service, and it is welcome from anyone who served whether or not they intend to return.

 

This report goes to OAT only and is handled on the same need-to-know basis as every OAT report. Your account of your own performance and contributions, and your answers in the five “three things” sections, are provided to the credentialing body when the uniform pathway opens. What you say about your supervisor and about the Chief Executive is feedback, read by OAT and the credentialing body; it is not shown to the person it concerns during the reorganization, and any answer that describes specific conduct is treated as a report in its own right. Nothing here is shared with the Transition Administration, with any officer, director, or trustee, or with anyone who is a party to anything you describe, except as necessary to protect someone or to carry out a determination. Retaliation for anything said here is prohibited without exception. Please write candidly and specifically; every section is required, and three considered answers are worth more than thirty. Please do not include health information about yourself or anyone else.

 

OAT will acknowledge your report from [email protected] within five business days.

The Office of Accountability & Transparency (OAT) is Compassion Center’s independent accountability office. Since 2019 it has held audit and oversight authority over everyone who acts for the organization, including its executives and trustees, and it is the place to bring a concern about anyone acting in Compassion Center’s name. Anyone may file: patients and their families, community members, vendors and partners, members of the public, and current or former team members.

 

Report here if you have experienced or witnessed conduct by anyone acting for Compassion Center or its programs that you believe was wrong: disrespect, intimidation, or harassment; pressure to accept a product, service, or solicitation you declined; a conflict of interest; misuse of the organization’s name, funds, or property; a breach of patient privacy; a safety concern; or a violation of the organization’s policies or Code of Ethics. If you are unsure whether something belongs here, file it; the OAT will tell you if it belongs somewhere else.

 

This form is not for medical questions, appointments, prescriptions, or anything about your treatment; please use the scheduling button above or call the clinic. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911 first.

 

Your report goes to OAT only and is handled on a strict need-to-know basis. It is shared with the person assigned to review it and, where a determination is required, with the independent panel that makes it. It is never shared with anyone who is a party to it, and it is not shared with the organization’s leadership except as necessary to protect someone or to carry out a determination. OAT cannot promise complete confidentiality, because there are limited circumstances in which the law or someone’s safety requires otherwise, but it will tell you before anything is shared beyond its review and why. You may file anonymously, though OAT cannot follow up with you or tell you the outcome if you do. Retaliation against anyone for filing a report is prohibited without exception; if you experience it, report that too.

 

You also have the right to report to law enforcement, to a licensing board, or to any regulator, whether or not you file here, and OAT will support you in doing so. OAT does not provide legal services or legal advice.

 

If you give a contact, OAT will acknowledge your report from [email protected] within five business days and tell you what happens next. Please add that address to your contacts so the reply is not filtered.

 

Thank you for your time, your consideration, and your contribution to the betterment of tomorrow.
