Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:NUTX), a physician-led, technology-enabled integrated healthcare delivery system comprised of 22 state-of-the-art micro hospitals in 8 states and primary care-centric, risk-bearing physician networks, today announced that SE Texas ER & Hospital will be incorporating 24/7 behavioral health services along with emergency care in its hospital.

Nutex-affiliated hospital, SE Texas ER & Hospital, located at 19211 McKay Drive in Humble, TX can now offer specialized treatment for both adult and adolescent patients with acute psychiatric needs in the emergency room, in conjunction with a psychiatric provider. By partnering with psychiatric providers via a secure Telehealth platform, patients will undergo a psychiatric evaluation in the ER and receive a personalized treatment plan, including psychiatric interventions in the ER if needed.

With this initiative, Nutex aims to expand the hospital's reach and provide a solution for a much-needed service in traditional ERs, as well as reducing ER boarding time, which historically has been a major issue in emergency departments.  Nutex hopes that this initiative will open new doors for other Nutex-affiliated hospitals in the future.
