Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Thursday, February 29th, 2024

Cardiff Lexington Corporation (OTC PINK:CDIX) today announced the opening of a new Nova Ortho and Spine ("Nova") location in Valdosta, Georgia. This is the eleventh total Nova Ortho and Spine location, and the first to be located outside of the state of Florida as the Company executes on its strategy to expand into the broader Southeast region of the United States.

 

Nova Ortho and Spine provides traumatic injury victims with diagnostic and surgical services for their injuries, with revenue primarily derived from bodily injury, general liability, and personal injury protection policies. The 1,500 square foot facility at 3350-B Noble Way represents a key milestone in the Company's broader growth strategy. With 10 Nova Ortho and Spine locations strategically dispersed throughout population centers in the state of Florida, the opening of the Valdosta location establishes an initial presence in the broader Southeast United States as the Company begins targeting population centers throughout this region.

Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, who was recently appointed as Managing Director of Nova Ortho and Spine, will oversee the Valdosta, Georgia location. Dr. Fitzgerald was previously the alternate Chief Medical Officer and the in-patient medical director for the Cleveland Clinic throughout Martin County, Florida. Dr. Fitzgerald was solely responsible for three hospitals with a total patient capacity of over 550, as well as the supervision of 30 physicians and 12 advanced care providers.

Alex Cunningham, CEO of Cardiff Lexington, commented, "The opening of this eleventh Nova Ortho and Spine location in Valdosta, Georgia represents a key milestone for our business as we execute on our organic growth strategy to expand into the broader Southeast region of the United States. Over the past several years, we have established a strong foothold in the state of Florida as a leading provider of medical care to an underserved patient population, and we are excited to be bringing our exceptional services to Valdosta and the surrounding community. This is the first step in what we expect to be a significant expansion outside of Florida and into population centers across the American Southeast in a strategic effort to establish Nova as a leading provider of exceptional orthopedic care on an increasingly larger scale."

Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, Managing Director of Nova Ortho, and Spine, stated, "This is very exciting as Nova has received several requests by referral sources to open an office in Valdosta. This is a testimony to the quality of patient care and outcomes that Nova provides. When patients and referral sources are asking you to come to their area, you know you are doing it right. This location will not only serve Valdosta but also gives us the ability to provide our services to several surrounding counties, as well as areas of Northeast Florida. Given our track record of successfully opening and operating Nova Ortho and Spine locations, we view this as the first step in establishing a network of facilities throughout Georgia and the broader Southeastern region of the United States, with a longer term goal of expanding nationwide."
