Ethema Health Corporation has been named a B2i Digital Featured Company in a partnership aimed at expanding investor awareness for the behavioral healthcare provider. The West Palm Beach-based company operates in-patient treatment facilities for substance use disorders across Florida and Kentucky, focusing on developing centers of excellence in addiction treatment for adults.
David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, stated that the partnership will help Ethema Health expand its investor awareness through digital marketing platforms and targeted outreach campaigns. Shapiro noted that the substance use disorder treatment space has strong secular demand drivers, and Ethema's multi-state operating footprint provides room for growth through increased occupancy across existing facilities and selective capacity additions.
Ethema's operational footprint expanded significantly in January 2025 with the acquisition of ARIA Kentucky, which added residential treatment capacity across multiple locations in the state. Combined with its existing Florida operations, including a West Palm Beach facility and a Boca Raton location acquired in May 2024, the company now has approximately 400 operationally available beds with a current patient census of approximately 325. The Florida facilities have been operating at near capacity, while Kentucky operations have shown steady increases in patient census since the acquisition.
Shawn Leon, President and CEO of Ethema Health Corporation, emphasized that the company's priority remains delivering quality care while growing operations in Florida and Kentucky. Leon stated that partnering with B2i Digital allows Ethema to reach a broader audience of investors following the behavioral health sector as the company continues to scale its business. The partnership leverages B2i Digital's platform, which serves growth-stage public companies through its Featured Conference, Featured Company, and Featured Expert programs, helping management teams sharpen their capital markets narrative and engage directly with active investors.
Financial performance indicators show substantial growth, with total revenue for 2025 expected to be reported as $19.5 million, representing a 225% increase over 2024. The company anticipates continued revenue growth as it brings additional dormant facilities online and increases occupancy across its platform. This growth trajectory occurs within a behavioral healthcare sector experiencing increasing demand for substance use disorder treatment services.
The partnership with B2i Digital provides Ethema access to B2i Digital's proprietary network of more than 1.5 million capital markets participants and a curated email distribution of more than 100,000 investors and industry professionals. This connectivity aims to move companies from marketing to meaningful investor meetings, reflecting B2i Digital's focus on measurable investor engagement captured in its mantra From Marketing to Meetings. B2i Digital, founded in 2021 by former Maxim Group investment banker and Chief Marketing Officer David Shapiro, is headquartered in New York City and operates as The Capital Markets Matchmaker.
For investors and industry observers, this partnership highlights the growing intersection between healthcare services and digital investor outreach platforms. As behavioral healthcare companies expand to meet increasing demand for substance use disorder treatment, effective capital markets communication becomes increasingly important for funding growth initiatives and operational expansion. The collaboration between Ethema Health Corporation and B2i Digital represents a strategic approach to investor relations in a sector where treatment quality, operational scale, and financial performance are closely monitored by stakeholders.
