Champignon plans to open at least five new clinics in New York, Florida and California

Champignon Brands Inc (CSE:SHRM) (OTCQB:SHRMF) has announced the formation of a new North American clinical expansion committee as part of its plan to open five new clinics in the US this year.

The Vancouver-based company said the committee is tasked with accelerating its expansion in the US, where it is in the midst of discussions with revenue-generating clinics in six states.

In a statement, Champignon said it hopes to capitalize on the fragmented nature of the US ketamine clinic marketplace to create a consortium of integrated mood disorder treatment and research facilities.

“By leveraging existing protocols, data sets and SOPs from our flagship clinic, the Canadian Rapid Treatment Centre of Excellence, arguably the most advanced integrated mood disorder centre in North America, we will improve economics, increase patient enrollment and function as the pre-eminent brick and mortar staging ground for novel molecule discovery initiatives,” Champignon CEO Gareth Birdsall said in the statement.

The firm remains bullish on the US marketplace due to favourable co-payer infrastructure and a vast addressable patient population, according to Birdsall. It is currently in discussions with clinic operators in California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and Missouri.

Champignon focuses on the formulation and manufacturing of novel ketamine, anaesthetics and adaptogenic delivery platforms for the nutraceutical and psychedelic medicine. Its business is supported by a leading psychedelics medicines clinic platform, including the Canadian Rapid Treatment Centre of Excellence that the firm acquired last month.
