Irwin Naturals Acquires And Adds Idaho Clinic To Its ‘Emergence’ Chain Of Psychedelic Services

Irwin Naturals Inc. (OTC:IWINF) signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of Ketamine Infusions of Idaho PLLC, which operates a clinic in Idaho Falls.

The facility is set to join Irwin Naturals Emergence, the company’s national chain of psychedelic mental health clinics, as its first medical center in Idaho.

“We provide a level of reassurance simply by being in this space. We’ve safely cared for your health needs for 28 years, and we will continue to do that with these new, life-changing treatments that are safe, effective, and can provide relief to those in need,” said CEO Klee Irwin.
