Jack Nathan Health Completes Acquisition of Flagship Location

March 22, 2021

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jack Nathan Medical Corp. (TSXV: JNH, OTCQB: JNHMF) (“Jack Nathan Health” “JNH” or the “Company”), a provider of primary care medical clinics located in Walmart® Supercentres under the Jack Nathan Health® brand, announced the acquisition of its 8172 sq. ft flagship medical clinic located in Vaughan, Ontario within the Walmart Supercentre at 8300 Highway 27 (Woodbridge).

Financial Highlights:

  • Offers a turnkey, modern clinic for JNH without the startup costs and includes all existing equipment and leasehold improvements.
  • $500,000 in medical revenues in the first 20 months(1) of operations with significant revenue growth and earnings potential moving forward.
  • Large format clinic will add allied health practitioners and MediSpa services.

The new clinic is the largest in the JNH Walmart footprint and now positions the Company to grow this multi service clinic into a premier health services destination in York Region, Ontario.

This acquisition is a significant milestone and the beginning of the Company’s mission to fortify itself as a provider of accessible healthcare. It is also an advancement of Jack Nathan Health’s strategic growth initiative in practice management and clinic operations. The acquisition of clinics owned by licensed operators within the existing JNH organization will now transform licensing revenue to significantly larger operational revenue.

The clinic, opened in Spring 2019, designed as a flagship store and a prototype of a more expansive vision of healthcare. With an amplified menu of integrated services available on site, this location offers patients the type of full circle of care and one-stop convenience exemplified by Jack Nathan Health. The clinic will be developed and operated under the guidance of Dr. Glenn Copeland, Jack Nathan Health’s Chief Medical Officer.

“The acquisition of this location, and how we position and develop it further to provide a diversity of accessible healthcare services is a tremendous growth opportunity. This location is a jewel of sorts within our portfolio of medical clinics, designed to put patients first and act as a template for a top tier medical experience and model for future growth. It is this singular focus on providing patients with a full circle of care that continues to drive us,” said George Barakat, Chief Executive Officer of Jack Nathan Health. “This is also another medical acquisition that helps us further grow and transition from licensing to operational revenue as part of our strategic initiative in practice management and clinic operations.”

“Jack Nathan Health is continuing to create benefits for practitioners and patients alike with this acquisition,” said Dr. Glenn Copeland, Chief Medical Officer of Jack Nathan Health. “As we grow our operations inside the Walmart footprint, we’re not only providing a greater range of healthcare for people where our clinics are located, we’re creating opportunities to access preventative services, vital in maintaining good health.”

Like all of Jack Nathan Health’s 76 locations across Canada, both telemedicine and virtual consultations are available as are a range of other services including (not limited to):

  • Family Medicine
  • Walk-In Option
  • Same Day Referrals
  • On-site blood laboratory
  • Physiotherapy
  • Chiropractic services
  • Massage Therapy
  • Kinesiology and Athletic Therapy Services
  • Imaging lab on site

Same day referrals reduce wait times and expedites healthcare, access to ample parking, on-site pharmacy, grocery, and other retail, as well as a paddle-paging system that lets patients wait in a virtual queue all help patients save time, helping them live their best lives.
