NeonMind's Mississauga clinic represents its initiative to establish and operate a network of NeonMind-branded specialty clinics. These clinics will deliver in demand mental health treatments to underserved areas throughout Canada. Specialty services to be offered will incorporate innovative, evidence-based interventional psychiatric treatments for a variety of mental health disorders.

Rob Tessarolo, President & CEO of NeonMind, commented, "This represents the latest step in our plan to become a specialty mental health clinics operator. We are building a clinic infrastructure that supports psychiatric treatment using innovative medicines such as ketamine, as well as other emerging therapies with strong evidence of efficacy and safety, in an effort to provide long-lasting solutions to a growing population of patients suffering from mental health. Following our recent clinic opening announcements, we are working quickly to stand these facilities up, with our Mississauga location in the final process for equipment setup and licensing."

NeonMind's Site Medical Director for its Mississauga specialty clinic location, Dr. Bhayana, has low dose IV-Ket treatment for mood and anxiety disorders as part of his scope of practice and will be overseeing the clinic with three private infusion rooms and operational capabilities that can support high volumes of IV-Ket treatments. There is now strong clinical evidence that IV-Ket is an efficacious and safe treatment for mood and anxiety disorders which has led to its inclusion as a treatment option in Canadian guidelines. Additional psychedelic-based therapies have a growing body of evidence on their efficacy in treating mental health disorders and NeonMind will look to incorporate these novel therapies as they are authorized. The Mississauga clinic is expected to begin treatment services in the second half of 2022.
