About Nick

My name is Nick Garulay, and I’m the Founder and CEO of My Florida Green. This company is more than a business to me. It’s a reflection of my passion for making medical cannabis more accessible. While working in the medical software space, I saw firsthand how complicated and frustrating the certification process was for both doctors and patients, especially those living with chronic pain, disabilities, or serious health conditions. I’m not a physician, but I am a technology professional. So I built a patient management platform designed to simplify medical marijuana certification and make the process easier for everyone involved across Florida.

 

Our Ultimate Goal

Our goal is to improve patient care by simplifying the process, reducing errors, improving communication, and ensuring state law compliance for physicians recommending medical marijuana to patients with serious medical conditions.

Future Direction

We’ve developed a streamlined patient management system that supports physicians and patients. I’m proud of my team and family. Together, we’re focused on improving care and shaping the future of My Florida Green.

How It All Started

In November 2016, I started providing software to select doctors in Florida to help patients access medical marijuana under the Compassionate Care Act, which at the time was limited to “terminally ill” patients. My goal was to connect patients with physicians who could responsibly incorporate cannabis into their care plans.

Challenges for Patients

At that time, doctors were required to see a patient for at least 90 days before approving them for medical marijuana. This long wait often kept patients from getting relief, and some even passed away before receiving treatment. It showed me that patients needed a faster, easier way to get care.

Building Solutions for Better Care

To address these challenges, I developed a software platform that improves patient management and communication. This system allows doctors to engage patients more effectively, track progress, and manage care efficiently. Patients can document their responses to treatment, monitor their progress, and communicate directly with their physicians.

My Florida Green

The result of this work is My Florida Green, a platform licensed to compassionate physicians who believe in cannabis as a medicinal alternative. It offers a complete solution for patient engagement, prescription management, and follow-up. By connecting patients and doctors better, the platform improves communication and helps patients get the care they need.
