Wesana Provides Updates on Build-out of Third Clinic

Naperville clinic to open Spring 2022

CHICAGO and TORONTO, March 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wesana Health Holdings Inc.  (“Wesana” or the “Company”) (CSE: WESA; OTCQB: WSNAF), a data-driven life sciences company focused on developing the novel therapies of tomorrow and delivering new care paradigms today, announced today that construction is underway for its third mental health clinic, expected to open in Spring 2022.

This new 3000 square-foot facility will be located in the southwest part of Naperville, IL and will be overseen by Dr. Abid Nazeer, Naperville native and Chief Medical Officer for Wesana. The psychiatrist-led clinic will focus on serving the community through the delivery of personalized innovative psychiatric care, inclusive of ketamine therapy, medication management, psychotherapy, cognitive testing, and pharmacogenetic testing. It will also be the first clinic to offer Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Naperville, which has shown efficacy as a treatment for conditions such as Major Depression, OCD, anxious depression, and more.

“Chicagoland is our core market, and we are thrilled to begin construction of our new clinic. Recently we surpassed a milestone of 4,000 administered ketamine treatments for major depressive disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction—a proof point of the importance of our offerings and the scale of need in our region,” said Dr. Nazeer. “As somebody with close ties to Naperville, including having grown up in the city, it is especially meaningful to me to bring advanced mental health treatments available today, to this wonderful community.”    

Wesana Clinics (presently doing business as APS Ketamine) has a strong existing foothold in the area, operating a clinical network that includes two flagship mental health clinics strategically located in Oak Brook and Downtown Chicago.  Since 2016, under the leadership of Wesana’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Abid Nazeer, the clinics have helped thousands of patients through integrated treatment and a comprehensive therapeutic approach

“Meeting the ever-growing need for mental health care is central to Wesana’s mission,” said Meghna Agarwal Gaeta, Wesana Chief Marketing Officer. She added, “We are thrilled to take this step toward expanding our care delivery area to Naperville and surrounding towns.”

The Company has entered into a 10-year lease, with a rent-free period through August 1, 2022, which provides for fixed, annual rent escalations throughout its term. The build-out of the facility is expected to cost approximately USD $250.000.
