Under his leadership<\/strong>, EMED provided emergency response, telemedicine, and patient transport throughout the Caribbean-saving countless lives and laying the groundwork for modern emergency healthcare coordination on the island.<\/p>\n That same spirit of compassion drives his ongoing relief work today. Even as Boise leads MMJ’s groundbreaking pharmaceutical cannabis research<\/strong> efforts in the United States-focused on developing FDA approved medicines for Huntington’s disease and multiple sclerosis<\/strong>-he continues to direct resources toward humanitarian causes close to his heart.<\/p>\n Jamaica Relief: A Mission of Heart and Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n The current relief shipments include non-perishable food, clean water, medical kits, flashlights, clothing, and bedding<\/strong>, with more containers scheduled to depart in the coming days. Coordination is underway with local Jamaican authorities, hospitals, and non-profit partners<\/strong> to ensure that supplies are distributed where they are most urgently needed.<\/p>\n “Duane’s love for Jamaica is real,” said a local partner involved in the relief coordination. “He doesn’t just talk-he shows up, he sends help, and he stays connected long after the headlines fade.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n For a glimpse of Boise’s long-standing connection to Jamaica, watch his feature story here: YouTube: Duane Boise – EMED Jamaica<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n About MMJ International Holdings<\/strong><\/p>\n MMJ International Holdings, Inc.<\/strong> is a pioneering biopharmaceutical company developing pharmaceutical grade cannabis based medicines<\/strong> for FDA clinical trials.
