NUTEX HEALTH ANNOUNCES TWO NEW FULLY FUNCTIONAL MICRO HOSPITALS

HOUSTON, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NUTX), a physician-led, technology-enabled healthcare services company comprised of a hospital division with 21 facilities in 8 states and a primary care-centric, risk-bearing population health management division, today announced two new fully operational micro hospitals.

The first hospital, New Braunfels ER & Hospital, is in New Braunfels, Texas, located about 30 miles northeast of San Antonio.  The state-of-the-art facility is open 24/7, 365 days a year, and includes an emergency room with 9 private exam rooms staffed with board-certified physicians and 4 private inpatient beds.  The hospital provides both adult and pediatric care, and has the most advanced imaging and laboratory equipment, including CT, X-Ray and ultrasound with rapid radiological reports.

The second hospital, East Valley ER & Hospital, is in Gilbert, Arizona, located about 21 miles southeast of Phoenix. The state-of-the-art hospital is open 24/7, 365 days a year, and includes an emergency room with 14 private exam rooms and 14 private inpatient beds. The hospital provides both adult and pediatric care, and has the most advanced imaging and laboratory equipment, including MRI, CT, X-Ray and ultrasound.

Nutex currently anticipates opening 3 more facilities in 2022, with another 17 facilities either under construction or in advanced planning stages and anticipated to open in 2023 and 2024.  There can be no assurance that these additional facilities will open in the anticipated timing or that they will open at all.

Nutex micro hospitals focus on ensuring that patients receive a premium patient experience.  Our hospitals feature short ER wait times averaging 15 minutes from entering the door to seeing a physician, high-quality care, lower nursing- and physician-to-patient staffing ratios and faster discharge times.  Physicians, nurses and other employees are incentivized to provide quality, compassionate care to their patients.  Nutex micro hospitals consistently have better outcomes and high patient satisfaction scores, with well over 1000 five-star Google reviews.

"We are excited to continue to expand Nutex's network of micro hospitals across the country," stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health. "Both New Braunfels and Gilbert are vibrant and rapidly growing suburbs of major metropolitan areas.  Our goal is to provide high-quality acute medical care to the populations of these communities."

"Entering the medical field, my goal was always to try to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered to our patients.  Our unique model allows physicians and nurses to retake control of patient care," stated Trey Allen, M.D., Medical Director at New Braunfels ER & Hospital.  "We are committed to working with the community to make sure they can receive the healthcare they deserve."

"As physicians, we saw how healthcare was being delivered, and we felt we could do better.  We felt the humanity and compassion were absent from many medical interactions.  We value and respect our patients, and treat them as family," stated Daniel Stites, M.D., Medical Director at East Valley ER & Hospital.
