Patrick Guerin
Chief Medical Officer, Compassionate Cannabis Clinic
(941) 586-2426 • venicecare.com
Dr. Barry Gordon graduated from Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1981. With
over 32 years in the emergency room, Dr. Gordon saw the harmful effects of alcohol,
tobacco products, and narcotic medications; the time was right to pursue a more
compassionate "do no harm' philosophy of patient care with the addition of medical
cannabis. Therefore, with great enthusiasm, he founded the Compassionate Cannabis
Clinic of Venice, in January 2017. The mission of CCC is based upon our three tenants of
patient care, education, and advocacy.

Mariryan Heschmeyer, D.O.M.
President & CEO, The Loveland Center
Patrick Guerin has been CEO at the Loveland Center for nearly six years and he's been
working professionally with individuals with disabilities for 30 years. He says people in
his profession continue to promote equality for the people they support. "I really see that,
as the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is only about 30 years old, we're continually
pushing to ensure that people with disabilities are seen as equals that are given the
same opportunities as every other person," he said.
Owner/Acupuncturist, Art of Acupuncture
Mariryan Heschmeyer began studying Chinese medicine in Gainesville, after receiving
her bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in 2000. She began her practice in
2005 in Atlanta. Heschmeyer says she chose TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) as a
career after having severe migraines, back pain and digestive issues. "I had exhausted
everything Western medicine had to offer," she said. "A chiropractor recommended I try
acupuncture. I was very anxious about the needles but after just a few treatments I was
seeing results."
