Jonathan Williams, DNP, PMHNP-BC, is currently inpatient/consult liaison for UnityPoint Meriter Hospital psychiatric unit and services. Jonathan has worked for more than 8 years in the field of psychiatry, and prior to that worked extensively in acute care, trauma, and neurology. Prior to transitioning to inpatient psychiatry and consultation, Jonathan worked as a outpatient psychiatric provider for a Federally Qualified Community Health Center for underserved communities of Northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. Jonathan started studying cannabis in detail during his outpatient practice when he saw a huge increase of use in his patient panel. Goals were to not only educate patient in the effects of the substance, but also other providers to assist in treatment and understanding. Jonathan's next goal is to obtain his PhD/Research for further study of the neurotransmitter effect of cannabis on the brain.
