MariMed Appoints Jon Levine as Interim Chief Executive Officer

NORWOOD, MA, December 14, 2022 - MariMed, Inc.

The Board will conduct a process to identify a permanent Chief Executive Officer for MariMed, which may include external and internal candidates. The Company will announce an update on the process upon completion. No timing was provided for the duration of the process.
