WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (the “Company” or “WELL“), a digital health company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower healthcare practitioners and their patients globally, is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to acquire Cloud Practice Inc. (“Cloud Practice“) and three clinics (the “Transaction“) from CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (“CloudMD“).

Hamed Shahbazi, CEO and Founder of WELL, said, “This transaction demonstrates our dedication to expanding and strengthening WELL’s Canadian healthcare offering through disciplined capital allocation.  This acquisition will also enable our EMR and billing divisions to enter new markets in the Canadian Prairies where we look forward to supporting healthcare practitioners’ access to new digital health innovations.”

Cloud Practice is a medical software application company with products including Juno EMR, a cloud based EMR solution based on OSCAR¹, and ClinicAid, a medical billing software used by healthcare practitioners who don’t need access to a full EMR.

Amir Javidan, COO of WELL commented, “This transaction is a win for healthcare practitioners and their patients as it will allow software users and clinicians joining our network to have access to WELL’s innovative Apps.Health platform which includes dozens of apps designed by leading 3^rd party digital health companies providing advanced physician tools such as an AI-powered virtual assistant to premium digital patient engagement tools that can drive significant operating efficiencies for clinics.”

The three primary care clinics being acquired in the Transaction currently have a total staff of 20 physicians operating out of two clinics in Vancouver, BC and one clinic in Surrey, BC.  These clinics are owned by subsidiaries of CloudMD, with all of the shares of these entities being acquired as part of the Transaction. These three clinics will be integrated into WELL’s existing primary care clinic network under WELL Health Canada Clinics Inc.Transaction Details:
