Ethema Health Corporation has entered a partnership with B2i Digital to enhance its investor relations efforts, a move that comes as the behavioral healthcare company experiences substantial growth in its substance use disorder treatment operations. The partnership designates Ethema as a B2i Digital Featured Company, leveraging B2i's digital marketing platform and targeted outreach campaigns to connect with investors interested in the behavioral health sector.
The collaboration is significant as Ethema reports dramatic financial growth, with 2025 revenue expected to reach $19.5 million, representing a 225% increase over 2024. This expansion follows strategic acquisitions that have broadened the company's geographic footprint and treatment capacity. In January 2025, Ethema acquired ARIA Kentucky, adding residential treatment facilities across multiple locations in the state. This followed the May 2024 acquisition of a Boca Raton facility, complementing its existing West Palm Beach operations in Florida.
David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, noted the strong demand drivers in the substance use disorder treatment space and Ethema's potential for continued growth. "The substance use disorder treatment space has strong secular demand drivers, and Ethema's multi-state operating footprint gives the company room to grow revenue by increasing occupancy across its existing facilities while selectively adding capacity," Shapiro said. B2i Digital operates as a capital markets positioning platform, helping growth-stage public companies engage with investors through programs like its Featured Company initiative.

Ethema currently operates approximately 400 available beds across its facilities, with a patient census of approximately 325. The Florida locations have been operating near capacity, while Kentucky operations have seen steadily increasing patient numbers since the acquisition. Shawn Leon, President and CEO of Ethema Health Corporation, emphasized the company's dual focus on care quality and operational growth. "Our priority is delivering quality care while growing our operations in Florida and Kentucky," Leon stated. "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."
The partnership highlights the increasing investor interest in behavioral healthcare companies addressing substance use disorders, a sector experiencing growing demand. Ethema's expansion strategy involves bringing additional dormant facilities online and increasing occupancy across its platform to drive continued revenue growth. The company's approach centers on developing centers of excellence in addiction treatment for adults, with operations spanning multiple states.
