My name is Rebecca Abraham and I am founder and President of Acute on Chronic. At Acute on Chronic, we believe in educated guidance to cannabis, alternative therapies, supplemental treatments, and support navigating a complex health system. We are here to provide clarity to cannabis and healthcare because we believe that access to treatment, evidence-based practice, healthcare equity, and defense of patient’s rights are vital to your health and well-being.

I am a registered nurse with 15 years of experience in emergency medicine, critical care, heart failure, surgical services, and case management. I am currently working on my Doctorate of Nursing Practice at Northern Illinois University, my research is focused on Cannabis science, nursing, and the integration of cannabis into traditional healthcare systems. I received my BSN, RN with a minor in Biology from Saint Xavier University and was also board certified in critical care (CCRN) from The American Association of Critical Care Nursing. I was awarded a continuing education scholarship from National Nurses United to Rutgers University’s Women’s Global Health Leadership Certificate program and am a recipient of the Illinois Nurses Association 40 under 40 Leaders in Nursing Award. I also possess a certificate in Cannabis Nursing through the American Cannabis Nurses Association.
