Nutex Health Named 2022 Innovation Award Honoree by The Houston Business Journal

HOUSTON, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NUTX), a physician-led, technology-enabled integrated healthcare delivery system comprised of 21 micro hospitals in 8 states and primary care-centric, risk-bearing physician networks, today announced that it has been named an honoree for the Houston Business Journal's 2022 Houston Innovation Awards. 

Nutex Health is one of 14 companies that have been selected for the Houston Business Journal's Fourth Annual Houston Innovation Awards. According to the Houston Business Journal, to qualify for this honor, "a company's product, procedure, business evolution or other innovation must have been implemented in the past 16 to 18 months and must have contributed to the growth of the business."

Since its merger with Clinigence Holdings on April 1, 2022 and listing on NASDAQ on April 4, Nutex Health's business model has evolved from standalone micro hospitals to include a cloud-based population health data analytics platform as well as risk-bearing independent practice associations (IPAs) which are in the process of being launched around some of its hospitals.

"We are very honored to be named a recipient of this Innovation award.  The concept of a micro hospital integrated with an IPA is a unique concept, and we hope to replicate this model around the country in the very near future.  We believe that our model will deliver higher-quality care that is also more cost-efficient," stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Nutex Health.

The honorees will be featured in the Houston Business Journal's September 23 weekly edition. There will also be an awards luncheon on Thursday, September 22, at the Marriott Marquis Downtown from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
