TORONTO, [b][color=blue]Feb 19, 2013[/color][/b] (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation (OTCBB:GRST), provider of Healthcare services and operator of several mental health clinics, today announced the engagement of the law firm JSBarkats PLLC, a corporate and securities law firm with offices in New York City, Los Angeles, California, Montgomery, Alabama, and Haifa, Israel, as well as affiliated offices in the Cayman Islands. Shawn Leon, the company's President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to be working with the seasoned group of professionals at JSBarkats. Our choice of legal counsel for our company is dictated by our future goals. Within days, Sunny Barkats, the managing partner of the firm, was able to secure strategic meetings with investment funds and experienced placement agents in New York to discuss capital requirements necessary for the growth of GRST." He added, "I have never met anyone that works as fast and efficiently as Mr. Barkats and we are excited about all of the new partnerships we have been presented."

GreeneStone has identified Mental Health and Addiction as its most promising line of business. Provincial governments appear to recognize that investments in mental health, addiction, and other clinic-based medical services are necessary, but are limited by overall financial constraints. Similarly, Canadian employers increasingly recognize the important role that investments in clinic-based mental health and addiction treatments have in limiting overall health care costs, particularly in respect of certain employee populations that have unique risk profiles such as emergency service workers.

GreeneStone plans to follow its previously announced buy and build growth strategy and now has the support of JSBarkats to execute this strategy. "In the context of increasing demand for in-patient clinic treatment in Canada and increased opportunities for growth," Mr. Leon continued, "we expect to take advantage of the full suite of services offered by JSBarkats. JSBarkats brings a level of experience and insight into the capital markets that should be extremely beneficial to our company and our shareholders."
