Mendry is a veteran-first education and outcomes platform. We spotlight two-hat Osteopathic Physicians (DOs)—clinicians who, in separate state-law visits, can advise on medical cannabis as Medical Cannabis Care Managers (MCCMs), and who, in VA Community Care visits, document safety counseling, functional outcomes, and CUD screens that flow back to VA. The result: fewer blind spots, earlier risk detection, and better data—without VA recommending or paying for cannabis.
We’re not a dispensary, not a tele-cert mill, and not a placement/referral service. We don’t give dosing or product advice on this site, and we don’t collect PHI.
Mendry is a 501(c)(3) education and outcomes nonprofit. We help veterans find and evaluate licensed clinicians, understand VA Community Care, and use function-first measurements—such as sleep continuity, pain interference, and daytime alertness—to make safer, more intelligent decisions. We don’t sell products or provide medical advice on this site.
How Community Care works
When access standards trigger or services aren’t available at your VA, VA can authorize care with a community clinician through CCN. The clinician sends documentation back to VA so your plan stays coherent. Cannabis itself isn’t a VA-paid benefit; safety and function still get documented so your VA team can act on what matters (medication interactions, therapy timing, adverse events).
Pro tip: Bring a one-page “goals card” to both visits—VA and community—with two functional targets and your reassessment date.
