EVART, Mich. — When Lume Cannabis Co. has made a $25,000 donation to the new Marshfield Medical Center-Dickinson Cancer Center in Iron Mountain.

“Providing relief to people suffering from cancer has been a core part of our mission at Lume Cannabis from day one,” said Doug Hellyar, president and COO of Lume Cannabis Co. “The healing powers of cannabis for those suffering from cancer have been well documented and we are proud to support a cutting-edge medical facility that provides compassionate care to its patients.”
