FORT WORTH, TX, September 2, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Sanara MedTech Inc. (“Sanara,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) (Nasdaq: SMTI), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing transformative technologies to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditures in the surgical, chronic wound and skin markets, today announced that Seth Yon, Sanara’s President and Chief Commercial Officer, has been appointed to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer and will join the Board of Directors, effective September 15, 2025. Mr. Yon will succeed Ron Nixon, who will continue to serve as Executive Chairman.

“I am very pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has voted unanimously to appoint Seth to the role of President and Chief Executive Officer,” stated Ron Nixon. “Over the past seven years, Seth has proven himself to be a strategic, capable and well-regarded leader serving Sanara in senior-level management positions of increasing responsibility. During his tenures as our Vice President of Commercial, President of Commercial and, most recently, as President and Chief Commercial Officer, Sanara achieved annual net revenue growth of 53% on a compounded basis for the three most recently completed fiscal years.”

Mr. Nixon continued: “Today’s announcement is the culmination of a longer-term initiative to develop and structure our senior leadership team, with the goal of positioning Sanara for future success in the markets we serve. Seth has been immersed in all key aspects of our business and is well-versed in the initiatives we are pursuing across our organization. He has cultivated an impressive senior leadership team in our Sanara Surgical segment, headed by our Vice Presidents of Sales and Market Development, who will continue to inform, support and execute our commercial strategy. As Executive Chairman, I will remain focused on the current initiatives we are pursuing in our Sanara Surgical and Tissue Health Plus segments, along with other key aspects of our strategy, to support Seth in his new role. My fellow directors and I believe he is the ideal CEO candidate to lead the next phase of Sanara’s growth and value creation, and we look forward to this new chapter under his strategic leadership.”

“Working alongside Sanara’s talented team to improve patient outcomes and deliver value to the healthcare system has proven to be one of the greatest highlights of my 27-year career,” stated Seth Yon. “In spite of the important progress we have made together, I believe Sanara remains in the early stages of its journey as an organization, with a significant greenfield opportunity ahead as we continue to penetrate the large patient populations that our treatments address. I am honored to assume the CEO role and excited by the prospect of leading the Sanara team though this important stage as an organization, for the benefit of all our stakeholders.”
