Ethema Health Corporation (OTC: GRST) has been named a B2i Digital Featured Company, a partnership aimed at expanding investor awareness through digital marketing and targeted outreach campaigns. The behavioral healthcare company operates in-patient treatment facilities for substance use disorders across Florida and Kentucky, with approximately 400 operationally available beds and a current patient census of about 325.
B2i Digital, a capital markets positioning and investor connectivity platform, will leverage its proprietary network of over 1.5 million capital markets participants to showcase Ethema's growth story. David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, highlighted the strong secular demand drivers in the substance use disorder treatment space and noted that Ethema's multi-state operating footprint provides room for revenue growth by increasing occupancy and selectively adding capacity.
Ethema's expansion has been significant. In January 2025, the company acquired ARIA Kentucky, adding residential treatment capacity across multiple locations. Combined with its Florida operations—including a West Palm Beach facility and a Boca Raton location acquired in May 2024—the company now expects to report total revenue for 2025 of $19.5 million, a 225% increase over 2024. The Florida facilities have been operating near capacity, while the Kentucky operations are steadily increasing patient census.
Shawn Leon, President and CEO of Ethema Health, emphasized the company's focus on delivering quality care while scaling operations. “Partnering with B2i Digital allows us to reach a broader audience of investors who are following the behavioral health sector as we continue to scale our business,” Leon said. The partnership is expected to help Ethema communicate its progress to a wider investor base, particularly as it brings additional dormant facilities online and increases occupancy.
The announcement underscores the growing importance of investor relations for growth-stage public companies in the behavioral health sector. B2i Digital, founded in 2021 by former Maxim Group investment banker David Shapiro, positions itself as a matchmaker between companies and active investors. The platform's curated email distribution reaches more than 100,000 investors and industry professionals, moving companies from marketing to meaningful investor meetings.
