It is an impressive list encompassing a very large and diverse part of Montgomery County.

PA 309 begins at an interchange between PA 611 and on the border between Cheltenham township in Montgomery County to the north and the East Oak Lane section of the city of Philadelphia to the south.

In addition to these many communities on the north/south axis, Route 309/Bethlehem Pike is crossed by some major routes that connect it to other communities to the east and west.

It will make access to the dispensary available to an even greater community of patients.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and (I-276) are toll highways operated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The highways run east–west through the state, connecting the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia areas. They connect with Interstate I-95 and they are also close to the dispensary.

Montgomery Mall is just one mile from the PA Health Concepts medical marijuana dispensary. It is a super-regional, two-level, indoor shopping center located conveniently at the intersection of routes 309 and 202 in North Wales, PA.

12

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

The PA Health Concepts Diversity Plan is a living document designed with strategies to increase its organizational capacity, to guide decisions and practices that positively impact equal opportunity and to promote the principles of diversity management. The primary internal objective is to recruit and hire workers from a diverse talent pool. The Diversity Plan provides a roadmap to become a company where all employees are valued and have an equal chance to succeed and grow within the company.

The Diversity Plan will support and ensure that the Mission Statement is implemented. These are the Diversity Plan strategies and action plans to accomplish this:

• The company diversity plan will encourage the CEO and other leaders to intellectually and monetarily invest in the Diversity Plan and take full responsibility for the program. • PA Health Concepts will inform the investors of its Diversity Plan and secure their support. • The Human Resources Director will set specific diversity goals by job category, measure results and formally communicate to management and investors. • Diversity targets will be incorporated into the annual review performance objectives for managers. • Externally, PA Health Concepts will award contracts to Pennsylvania companies and consultants with certified diverse ownership as well as diverse management and employees. • The Human Resources Director will conduct employee diversity meetings where we will review the Diversity Plan and inform employees on how they and the organization will benefit and perform better, resulting in job security, raises, expansion, reduced turnover, and recruiting from a broader pool of talent. • PA Health Concepts will focus some of its recruiting efforts in the areas where they are underrepresented to have a more balanced diversity. • The company will place help wanted advertisements in local minority news media and women’s interest media; disseminate job opportunities to organizations representing minorities, women and employment development agencies; and actively recruit at secondary schools and junior colleges with predominantly minority or female enrollments. • PA Health Concepts will include the phrase “Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer” in all help wanted ads. • The company will encourage all employees to refer qualified applicants for new open positions. • PA Health Concepts will implement a program that recognizes and showcases the differences in groups – all people are equal but different. We will review some examples to clearly illustrate this. • PA Health Concepts’ Human Resources Director will hold formal diversity workshops for employee inclusion and prepare presentation materials to instruct participants about definitions and concepts associated with diversity. We will develop interactive activities such as ice-breakers, role-playing exercises, and case studies. 13

The Human Resources Director will research if our compensation package is competitive for comparable jobs in our community. She will also conduct reviews periodically of our starting salaries to insure there are no disparities due to race, religion, age, gender, national origin, veteran status or non-job related disability.

If problem areas arise, the manager is to report problems immediately to the Human Resources Director. During the quarterly reporting,

Section 16 – Sanitation and Safety

A. PLEASE PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF THE INTENDED SANITATION AND SAFETY MEASURES TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT EACH PROPOSED FACILITY LISTED IN THE PERMIT APPLICATION. THESE MEASURES SHOULD COVER, BUT ARE NOT BE LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: A WRITTEN PROCESS FOR CONTAMINATION PREVENTION, PEST PROTECTION PROCEDURES, MEDICAL MARIJUANA PRODUCT HANDLER RESTRICTIONS, AND HAND-WASHING FACILITIES.

Statement of Safety Policy

Contamination Prevention Process PA Health Concepts will require that all employees maintain strict sanitation protocols throughout the entire facility. Employees will agree to uphold compliance with local and state department regulations. The purpose of these protocols will be to protect people, equipment, and products from contamination from microbial, chemical, and physical hazards.

Contaminants The four major ways contaminants can enter a room are the bottom of shoes, pets (i.e. dogs, cats, birds), hands, and clothing. PA Health Concepts will mandate a no pet policy(except for service dogs), clean hand and glove procedures, and sanitary shoes and clothing. Nitrile 88

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application gloves will be required when anyone is in contact with medical marijuana concentrate or infused products. The patient should be the first person to touch the medicine with their bare hands. Temperature-controlled secure storage areas will limit exposure to contaminants, pests and prohibit the propagation of micro-organisms (growth of molds/bacteria). All medical marijuana product inventory will be stored in temperature-controlled secure storage until it is ready to be displayed and sold.

Sanitation and Cleanliness Because the spread of communicable diseases and infections presents a safety threat to employees, patients, and the surrounding community, PA Health Concepts is committed to maintaining a clean and sanitary facility environment in the interest of public health and safety. To this end, all employees will be held responsible for keeping facility equipment, materials, and work areas clear of debris and properly sanitized. PA Health Concepts will maintain its facility in a sanitary condition to limit the potential for contamination or adulteration of medical marijuana containing products. The following apply:

● All store countertops, scales, storage devices, containers, utensils, shelves, racks, and surfaces will be free of dust and debris by cleaning and sanitizing them throughout the day as necessary to prevent contamination.

● All instruments or devices to administer medical marijuana will be kept in clean, locked display cases or in locked inventory storage units.

● All patient-facing areas will be kept neat and clean. Floors will be swept and or vacuumed at the end of each day.

● All storage areas will be cleaned on a weekly basis.

● Stored product will be moved or shielded during cleaning to prevent splash contamination.

● Any windows and mirrors will be cleaned daily.

● All restroom facilities will be cleaned daily and will be well stocked with proper amenities.

● All garbage and waste will be stored in waste containers and removed from the facility on a daily basis in order to prevent pests from breeding in the facility’s trash. Trash will be stored in outdoor locked waste bins which will be emptied by a third-party waste removal company on a weekly basis.

● Floors, walls and ceilings will be kept in good repair.

● Adequate protection against pests will be provided through the use of integrated pest management practices and techniques that identify and manage pathogens and pest problems.

89

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

● Toxic cleaning compounds and sanitizing agents will be labeled and stored in a manner that prevents contamination of medical marijuana containing products and in a manner that otherwise complies with other applicable laws and regulations. Per Section 1161.34(b), employees working in direct contact with medical marijuana products are subject to the restrictions on food handlers and in Section 27.153 (relating to restrictions on food handlers), an employee will otherwise conform to sanitary practices while on duty, including the maintaining of adequate personal hygiene. This will include the thorough washing of hands in an adequate hand-washing area before starting work and at any other times when hands may have become soiled or contaminated and at all times before dispensing medical marijuana products to a patient or caregiver. Additionally, PA Health Concepts will provide its employees and visitors with adequate, readily accessible lavatories that will be maintained in a sanitary condition and in good repair. PA Health Concepts will have readily accessible hand-sanitizing stations that will be located where good sanitary practices require employees to wash and sanitize their hands. These stations will include effective nontoxic sanitizing cleansers and sanitary towel service or suitable hand drying devices.

Equipment Sanitation PA Health Concepts will have a written process in place to maintain the sanitation and operation of equipment that comes into contact with medical marijuana products, chemicals, dirt, food/drink, raw materials or any other potentially unsanitary elements to prevent contamination. All equipment will be wiped down after each use and undergo a deep cleaning and sanitizing monthly. PA Health Concepts will provide a copy of the written process to the Department upon request. As part of the written process, the Company will:

1. Routinely calibrate, check and inspect the following to ensure accuracy: • Automatic, mechanical or electronic equipment • Scales, balances or other measurement devices used in operations

2. Maintain an accurate log recording the following: • Maintenance of equipment • Cleaning of equipment • Calibration of equipment

Water Supply PA Health Concepts will ensure that the facility is provided with a water supply sufficient for operations, which will be derived from a source that is a public water system, or a nonpublic system that is capable of providing a safe, potable and adequate supply of water to meet the operational needs of the facility.

Employees

90

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

Employees will be assigned routine tasks including sweeping, mopping, removing waste, and cleaning and sterilizing work areas and equipment as part of their daily schedule and management will ensure that all cleaning tasks are carried out promptly. PA Health Concepts will put any employee on sick leave for a minimum of 24 hours if the employee has an illness or is expected to have a contagious condition that could cause contamination to medical marijuana containing products or other employees and patients and otherwise potentially negatively impact product safety and patient health.

Pest Protection Procedures PA Health Concepts will utilize a state of the industry integrated pest management (IPM) regimen in accordance with the Pennsylvania Pesticide Control Act of 1973 (Pesticide Control Act) (3 P.S. §§ 111.21—112) and utilize the expertise set forth by MJ Freeway operations consultants. PA Health Concepts’ IPM regimen will include practices such as careful observation and examination, pest identification, sanitation, environmental controls, corrective measures such as biological and mechanical controls, and record keeping. On their own, any one of these practices may not be enough to control an infestation of pests, but by taking a systematic approach and combining multiple pest control practices, PA Health Concepts’ retail staff will be able to consistently achieve greater and more economical control of pests over time. Daily walk through inspections to look for any indication of pests or pathogens will be conducted by dispensary employees. Pests common to marijuana like spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies, as well as mold and other diseases are capable of decimating an inventory. Climate control will be a key component in the IPM. Tight humidity and temperature control will be imperative. PA Health Concepts will ensure proper airflow by providing adequate ventilation and fans for circulation.

Medical Marijuana Handler Restrictions All employees involved in handling medical marijuana containing products will be required to wear appropriate clean clothing and gloves. As applicable, hair nets and beard nets will be required.

Contagious and Communicable Illness and Disease Many communicable illnesses and diseases could possibly be transmitted by infected medical marijuana containing product handlers to consumers through the products or contact surfaces. PA Health Concepts will strive to employ healthy people and institute a system of identifying employees who present a risk for transmitting impurities to medical marijuana products, utensils, devices or to other employees and patients. In order to protect the health of both patients and employees, information concerning the health status of job applicants and currently employed production workers will be required to be disclosed. The HR Director and/or Dispensary Manager will convey to job applicants and employees the importance of notifying managers about issues with health status or changes in health status. Once notified, the Dispensary Manager will take action to prevent the transmission of any type of contamination. All patient-facing employees will be required to notify their Dispensary Manager by telephone if they are sick and will not be able to report to work until at least 24 hours have passed after the sickness symptoms have ended.

91

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

Food Handler Restrictions

the following:

1. Maintaining adequate personal hygiene

2. Wearing proper clothing, including gloves

3. Washing hands thoroughly in an adequate hand-washing area before starting work and at any other time when hands may have become soiled or contaminated.

Hand Washing Facilities Frequent and effective handwashing removes bacteria and microorganisms from the surface of hands. Once these potentially harmful substances are on the hands, it becomes easy for a person to transfer them. In addition, viruses pose a particularly significant threat with regard to handwashing, in that they are often found on the surface of the human body and require a host cell to survive and reproduce. Because viruses can be transferred from person to products and between people, handwashing will be critical at the facility. It will help to prevent the spread of illnesses and other contaminants. Ultimately, this will reduce both the risk of employees spreading bacteria to our products and potentially becoming infected with a virus themselves. All employees will be required to wash their hands thoroughly and sanitize when necessary including but not limited to the following circumstances: ● On entering any product handling area ● After each and every visit to the lavatory ● After using a handkerchief or tissue ● After smoking, chewing, eating, or drinking ● After handling trash, dropped product or any unsanitary or contaminated material. PA Health Concepts will provide employees and visitors with ample, satisfactory, and convenient hand-washing facilities in the accessible lavatories furnished with running water at a temperature suitable for sanitizing hands. The following apply: ● Effective nontoxic sanitizing cleansers and sanitary towel service or suitable drying devices will be provided. ● Additionally, PA Health Concepts will provide its employees and visitors with adequate, readily accessible lavatories that will be maintained in a sanitary condition and in good repair.

92

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

Specific Safety Measures

Ergonomics According to OSHA, ergonomics is the science of matching the workplace requirements to the employees' capabilities. Mismatching job requirements to capabilities can result in employee injury or illness. PA Health Concepts will hire employees with the right strengths and capabilities for the specified job duties. In support of safety in ergonomics, the Human Resources Director will: • Develop clear ergonomics goals • Express the company’s commitment to achieving them • Assign responsibilities (training, job analysis, etc.) to designated staff members to achieve those goals • Ensure that assigned responsibilities are fulfilled • Provide appropriate resources

Fire Hazards PA Health Concepts will continuously monitor the store for fire hazards such as exposed wire from lighting or computers, improper chemical storage in back rooms, or combustible materials left near a heat source. PA Health Concepts will have in place a fire evacuation plan and fire exit signage. To ensure that the Company is prepared for any fires that may arise, the Company will always keep fire extinguishers in the dispensary and ensure that all employees are trained on proper use. PAHC will schedule routine fire extinguisher inspections to verify that they function properly. PAHC will schedule regular visits by the local fire department for general walk throughs. This will help establish rapport with the local authorities and maintain compliance throughout the business. In case of fire, PA Health Concepts will: ● Call 911 immediately and evacuate the building. ● If the fire is small and contained, PAHC will attempt to extinguish the flames with one of the fire extinguishers that are located throughout the facility. ● Wait for firefighters to arrive and provide as much information as they request. ● Once outside of the building and safe, notify the safety manager.

Lifting Safety When necessary, PA Health Concepts will provide employees with help to lift heavy or bulky 93

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application items. Whether a particular lift will require assistance will depend on several factors, including the weight and size of the object, how frequently the object is lifted, how close the object is to the ground, how high it must be lifted, how far it must be carried and whether it has handles. Assistance will include a dolly or cart, or help from a co-worker. Employees will be trained in the use of appropriate lifting techniques for different sizes of objects as well as to when it is appropriate to seek assistance.

When holding, lifting or carrying items, PA Health Concepts will: • Before lifting boxes and cases, check the weight so it can be lifted properly • Turn the body as a unit to avoid twisting at the waist • Keep the item close to the body • Keep back straight • Use leg muscles to do the lifting • Lift smoothly without jerking • Get close to where the item needs to be set down

Lighting

Natural Disasters PA Health Concepts will take special precautions in case a natural disaster strikes by not stacking inventory high above patients and customers' heads where it could fall with high winds and/or earth movement. PA Health Concepts will be prepared with a plan that allows us to alert customers immediately to any watches or warnings. PA Health Concepts will also keep safety kits that include water and non-perishable food in case employees and patients are unable to leave the store after the natural disaster is over.

Visual Inspection of Premises PA Health Concepts will visually inspect the dispensary’s premises consistently to ensure that no hazards are apparent. These hazards may include uneven flooring, spills that could cause a patient or employee to slip and fall and misplaced boxes or other items on the floor that may cause someone to trip and hurt themselves. PAHC will make sure spills are mopped up immediately, and remove clutter from the store's floor.

Labeling and Exit Bags All medical marijuana containing products will be labeled at the point of sale and all labels will contain the required safety warnings. All medical marijuana containing products will be required to leave the store in a child-resistant exit bag or other similar, Department approved package.

SECTION 23 – COMMUNITY IMPACT PLEASE BE ADVISED, INDICATION OF SUPPORT FROM PUBLIC OFFICIALS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED WHEN EVALUATING THIS SECTION.

PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF HOW THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY WHERE ITS OPERATIONS ARE PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED:

Introduction

The PA Health Concepts medical marijuana dispensary will strive to be a very good neighbor, contributing to the improvement of the local community with a strong plan that will have a positive impact. The owners/founders are all residents of the Southeast Pennsylvania region in Montgomery County, close to the border shared with Bucks County, so they have a very personal and strong vested interest in these communities. They attend churches in the area. They are raising their families and have children attending schools or day care centers in the area. They are concerned with the safety and quality of life of their families, their friends and their neighbors. They know these communities. They shop in these communities to support local small businesses. This owner/operator profile may very well set them apart from other potential dispensary owners and operators who are not members of the community.

PA Health Concepts has set goals in seven areas where the company has decided to focus its positive community impact efforts. These are:

1. Form partnerships with local organizations and help sponsor their events.

2. Adult volunteer opportunities for dispensary management and professional staff.

3. Support local youth focused organizations.

4. Contribute to environmental sustainability.

5. Provide support and build rapport with local Police, Firemen, and Clergy.

128

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

6. Community presentations, especially for senior citizens, to make them aware of the benefits of medical marijuana over prescription medications with serious side effects.

7. Support local employment.

By focusing on these areas and the following organizations and actions supporting them, we’ll give our management and employees a large menu of opportunities to select from. This will allow PA Health Concepts to make a positive impact on our community as well as being a good neighbor and responsible local corporate citizen. The Human Resources Director will develop a reporting system to advise the owners and Board of both the participants and exactly which program(s) they have selected.

As you can see, there are many opportunities to form partnerships with community organizations. In addition to the assistance we would provide to these organizations, as they would get to know us better, it would be an opportunity to help eliminate the stigma which marijuana has had for many years. The Sr Vice President/Director of Operations will be the champion of this community partnership focus and will ensure employee participation.

129

131

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

4) Contribute to Environmental Sustainability

Pa Health Concepts defines environmental sustainability as practices that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. As good neighbors concerned about the well-being and future of our communities, we will:

• Recycle all our recyclable refuse (plastic, cardboard, npers, glass, etc.) in the recycle trash containers provided by our trash haulers.

• Utilize only Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs that are the most energy-efficient light bulb options. They have lower wattage than incandescent bulbs, but emit the same light output. This allows them to produce the same amount of light, but use less energy. They are Energy Star rated.

• Purchase only Energy Star rated appliances for our breakroom: microwave and refrigerator.

• Keep our HVAC system serviced on a regular basis, change filters as scheduled to use less energy.

• As our dispensary reaches profitability, we will investigate the potential of installing solar panels on our roof, to reduce energy use.

• If we purchase any vehicles for the dispensaries, we will only purchase electric or the most energy efficient vehicles available at that time.

• The cleaning crew will be instructed to only use “green” cleaning solvents that do not emit any gases into the environment. They will use cloth and other materials that can be reused, rather than throw away paper towels or mops.

• We will contact the Adopt-a-Road programs in both Montgomery and Bucks counties and request to be responsible for maintaining one mile of county or state roads, cleaning them twice yearly and recycling much of the refuse we pick up.

All of our employees will be trained to support every one of these initiatives and, of course, be an integral part of our Adopt-a-Road program.

132

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

133

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

134

Pennsylvania Department of Health Medical Marijuana Dispensary Permit Application

Over time, we expect he above actions will help make PA Health Concepts a good neighbor and welcome member of the communities where we will operate. We will be open to feedback and add or adjust our plans to continually improve our positive impact.
