FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 6, 2020 / Sanara MedTech Inc. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, Sanara MedTech Inc. ("Sanara" or the "Company") (OTCQB:SMTI), a provider of wound and skin care products and solutions dedicated to improving patient outcomes, announced that it has closed on an exclusive affiliation with MGroup Integrated Physician Services, P.A. ("MGroup"). Pursuant to this arrangement, Sanara, through its subsidiary United Wound and Skin Solutions LLC ("UWSS"), has agreed to provide certain management services to MGroup and MGroup has agreed to provide certain in-person and telehealth related clinical services to UWSS.

MGroup is a physician-owned and physician-led multispecialty wound care group focused on utilizing telehealth and associated technologies to build high-quality, cost-effective care delivery systems. MGroup currently holds active medical licenses in 40 states with plans to expand coverage to all 50 states in 2021. In connection with this affiliation, MGroup's founder and CEO, Chris Morrison, MD, will join UWSS and lead its telehealth efforts as President of Telehealth Services.

Ron Nixon, Sanara's Executive Chairman stated, "MGroup is a significant piece of our ongoing expansion into telemedicine. With this affiliation, Sanara, through its subsidiary UWSS, gains not only a seasoned executive with a proven track record of success to lead our telehealth efforts, but also the ability to offer MGroup's virtual wound care services to patients across the majority of the United States."

Dr. Morrison is an experienced, successful healthcare executive who is board-certified by both the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Board of Preventive Medicine. He is the founder and former CEO of Nautilus Health Care Group, which was acquired by Healogics, Inc. in 2012. He then served as President and Executive Medical Director of Healogics Specialty Physicians, a nationally-recognized physician group providing comprehensive clinical and wound management solutions to both hospitals and long-term care facilities.

"For many years I have been a strong advocate for telehealth care. I am excited to have the opportunity to lead Sanara's efforts to build a comprehensive set of virtual wound care and dermatology offerings across all care settings through MGroup and DirectDerm. Sanara's investments and strategic partnerships offer a great platform on which to build the Company's services and make telehealth-based wound care and dermatology an affordable and effective reality for all Americans," said Dr. Morrison.
