Ethema Health Corporation has entered a partnership with B2i Digital, Inc. to become a B2i Digital Featured Company, aiming to expand investor awareness for its growing network of substance use disorder treatment facilities. The West Palm Beach-based behavioral healthcare company operates in-patient treatment centers in 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 by increasing occupancy across existing facilities while selectively adding capacity. B2i Digital serves as a capital markets positioning and investor connectivity platform for growth-stage public companies, leveraging a proprietary network of more than 1.5 million capital markets participants.
Ethema's operational footprint expanded significantly in January 2025 with the acquisition of ARIA Kentucky, adding 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 is 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 company's financial performance shows substantial growth, with total revenue for 2025 expected to be reported as $19.5 million, representing a 225% increase over 2024. Ethema 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 between Ethema Health and B2i Digital reflects a strategic move to capitalize on growing investor interest in the behavioral health sector. As substance use disorder treatment becomes an increasingly critical component of healthcare infrastructure, companies like Ethema are positioning themselves for expansion while seeking to communicate their growth narrative effectively to the investment community. The collaboration represents how specialized investor relations platforms can help healthcare companies navigate capital markets while focusing on operational expansion and patient care delivery.
