VANCOUVER, British Columbia and LAS VEGAS, Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hydreight Technologies Inc. (“Hydreight” or the “Company”) ( TSXV: NURS )( OTCQB: HYDTF )( FSE: SO6 ), a fast-growing mobile clinical network and medical platform which enables flexible at-home medical services across 50 states in the United States, is pleased to announce its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. All financial information is presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight commented, “Q3 2023 was an excellent quarter for Hydreight and our financial results reflect the continued organic growth across all our divisions and diverse revenue mix. Q3 was the 8^th consecutive quarter of meaningful revenue growth, and we expect a strong finish to 2023 and momentum to continue into 2024. Our focus in the first half of the year was developing and advancing our proprietary technology platform, adding features including direct booking, telemedicine and a dispatch center, and adhering to the state-by-state healthcare regulations to ensure compliance. These advancements in turn, create a fully automated, fully-integrated, turnkey solution which enables nurses to deliver services outside of traditional brick-and-mortar healthcare facilities. We have created one of the only healthcare technology platforms that works across 50 states and over 650 cities in the United States. Because of that, Hydreight has a significant competitive advantage in the sector.”

He continued, “In the last two years, we’ve experienced significant growth. Looking ahead, our focus includes expanding services for our customers, growing our network of nurses and users, driving white label partnerships, increasing margins on our pharmacy division, and looking at strategic tuck-in M&A opportunities to scale the business quickly and efficiently. Recent legislative changes in the healthcare market, particularly in the 503B landscape, have affected patient-specific prescriptions for previously over-the-counter medications. The technology and legal investments we made in the beginning of the year, have uniquely positioned Hydreight to fill this gap and enable healthcare practitioners, and healthcare businesses to operate legally under our platform. This remains a key competitive advantage, establishing us as industry leaders with a proprietary platform poised for continued growth. I am proud of our team's ability to execute our growth strategy, adapt swiftly to evolving industry legislation, and deliver meaningful results."
