At the moment, the multi-trillion-dollar U.S. healthcare market is in shambles. In fact, the current system is fragmented, meaning there exists a lack of coordination that often results in an inefficient allocation of resources. “Fragmentation adversely impacts quality, cost, and outcomes. Eliminating waste from unnecessary, unsafe care is crucial for improving quality and reducing costs-and making the system financially sustainable,” says The American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC). However, with primary care companies, like Skylight Health Group Inc. (TSXV:SHG)(OTCQB:CBIIF), Oak Street Health Inc. (NYSE:OSH), WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX:WELL)(OTC:WLYYF), 1Life Healthcare Inc. (NASDAQ:ONEM), and Jack Nathan Medical Corp. (TSXV:JNH) stepping in to help, that could soon change.
Better, there’s tremendous growth among primary care companies. Look at Oak Street Health, for example. CEO Mike Pykosz just noted, “In the first quarter we generated revenue growth of 47%. Our execution was further highlighted by the opening of seven new centers, including four new markets, during the quarter. As of March 31, we operated 86 clinics across 20 markets in 13 states. Our patient growth in the first quarter demonstrated the continued demand for Oak Street Health’s innovative model in all our markets.” However, that may only be the start to substantial growth for Oak Street and the industry.
Skylight Health Obtains Conditional Approval to List on NASDAQ Under the Symbol “SLHG”
Skylight Health Group Inc. (TSXV:SHG; OTCQX: SHGFF), a multi-state primary care management group in the United States, today announced that the Company has received conditional approval from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ( “Nasdaq”) to list its issued and outstanding common shares on Nasdaq. Final approval of the listing is subject to the Company fulfilling any remaining conditions as required by Nasdaq. The Company expects to satisfy all of the requirements and will issue a statement once a trading date has been confirmed by Nasdaq. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange under its current symbol SHG; and until the NASDAQ listing, in the U.S. on the OTCQX under its current symbol, SHGFF.
“The anticipated listing of our stock on the Nasdaq represents a significant milestone in our growth as a publicly-traded company,” said Prad Sekar, CEO and Co-Founder of Skylight Health. “We believe this anticipated listing will increase our visibility in the marketplace, improve liquidity, broaden and diversify our shareholder base, and ultimately enhance long-term shareholder value. I would like to thank our employees, management, directors and our many collaborators for their hard work in obtaining conditional approval for Skylight Health to list on Nasdaq, an important step that will help facilitate our mission to provide primary services to Americans across the country.”
