Irwin Naturals Inc. 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.
