QHSLab (OTCQB:USAQ) Initiates Board Expansion Process to Strengthen Governance and Support Next Phase of Growth
Governance evolution follows elimination of major convertible debt, recent funding, and improved capital structure
Company advances governance framework aligned with shareholder interests and future listing requirements
West Palm Beach, FL, Jan. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QHSLab Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: USAQ), a digital health infrastructure company supporting primary care practices, today announced that it has initiated a formal process to expand its board of directors by adding independent members.
The Company has commenced meetings and interviews with prospective candidates as part of a structured and deliberate selection process. This initiative reflects QHSLab’s continued evolution as a public company and its commitment to strengthening governance practices in alignment with shareholder interests and long-term growth objectives.
The addition of independent directors is expected to further enhance oversight, broaden strategic perspective, and support customary corporate approvals as the Company prepares for future milestones, including potential uplisting considerations. Management believes this step positions QHSLab to operate with governance standards consistent with larger public companies while maintaining the agility required to execute its strategy underway.
This governance initiative follows a series of actions taken by the Company over the past several months to simplify its capital structure and reduce potential shareholder overhang. QHSLab has substantially eliminated legacy convertible debt, reduced interest expense, and recently completed a funding transaction designed to support growth while limiting dilution. Collectively, these actions are intended to improve transparency, strengthen the balance sheet, and align management and shareholder interests.
Troy Grogan, President, CEO, and Sole Director of QHSLab, commented:
“For many years, I served as the Company’s sole director during periods that required resilience, discipline, and long-term thinking. Throughout that time, my focus was always on acting in the best interests of shareholders and building a durable foundation for growth. I chose not to take compensation so that shareholders could see clearly that I was sitting in their shoes, working through the same risks and trade-offs.”
“As QHSLab enters its next phase, I believe the time is right to evolve our governance structure. Bringing independent directors onto the board strengthens oversight, supports future capital markets objectives, and reflects the progress we have made as a company. This is a positive and necessary step as we continue building long-term value.”
The Company expects to provide updates as the board selection process progresses.
