Novamind Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Arizona-based Clinics
We are pleased to announce the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Arizona-based Foundations for Change, a mental health practice specialized in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, from its sole stockholder, Jeff Edelman. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in January 2022.
Opened in 2017 by Jeff Edelman, Foundations currently operates one outpatient mental health clinic in Peoria, Arizona with an annual revenue run rate in excess of US$800,000 and owns a second, larger location in Phoenix that is scheduled to open in early 2022. Foundations will temporarily operate as “Foundations for Change by Novamind” until the Company completes its recently announced rebrand. Mr. Edelman will continue in a leadership capacity as Medical Director for both clinics. Mr. Edelman is double board-certified Family Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric-Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist. As a former military combat veteran, who served in the US Army 55th Medical Co. Combat Stress Control unit, Mr. Edelman has special expertise in treating military veterans and first responders who struggle with stress and trauma.
