These Four Healthcare Stocks Are Heating Up On Tuesday
CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2019 / The healthcare stock market is one of the few markets which exists in a unique space of opportunity because its encompassing industry is built upon the needs of people, rather than on products that could be considered extraneous. Every person on this planet wants to be healthy, and it is the responsibility of the healthcare sector to meet the growing challenges presented by infectious diseases and ailments which, if unchecked, could disrupt humanity's existence. We look medical experts and healthcare professionals to assist us in feeling better when we're sick, and new advancements in drug treatment, holistic medicines, and the use of medicinal cannabis all indicate a very strong future for the healthcare industry. If these trends remain constant, investors in search of lucrative opportunities could benefit from tapping into healthcare. Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI), Heat Biologics Inc (HTBX), Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Inc (ZYNE), and Aurora Cannabis Inc (ACB) represent 4 healthcare stocks to keep on your radar this week.
