Lyra Health Announces Lyra Link and New Partners to Deepen Benefits Integration
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lyra Health, the leading provider of mental health solutions for employers, today announced new partnerships with wellness benefits providers to integrate with Lyra Link. Aligned with a growing network of health care partners who share Lyra's vision for whole-person care, Lyra Link works behind the scenes to present members with a unified view of their mental and physical health benefits.
Building on Lyra's Integrated Benefits Ecosystem, introduced in 2023, Link facilitates secure client data sharing across diverse benefit platforms — including musculoskeletal (MSK), fertility, care giving, chronic conditions, weight management, substance use, cancer, and financial wellness — reducing the administrative burden HR leaders face when trying to connect the dots between benefits for employees in need of care. More importantly, Link opens up lines of communication between providers to deliver a highly coordinated and more personalized care experience for members.
'Poor physical, financial, and mental health are often interconnected. Fragmented benefits leave people struggling to find the right support, prolongs recovery, and drives up costs,' said Sean McBride, chief revenue officer, Lyra Health. 'Lyra Link enables us to collaborate more effectively with other vital benefit providers to deliver smarter, connected care that treats the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. By streamlining care pathways and closing gaps, we help people get better faster and create stronger ROI for employers.'
'At Virta, we know that effective chronic disease care must treat both the body and the mind. That's why we're thrilled to continue partnering with Lyra as part of their integrated ecosystem so we can make it easier for individuals to access lasting, life-changing care – care that not only reverses diseases like type 2 diabetes and obesity, but also elevates overall quality of life,' said Adam Wolfberg, Chief Medical Officer, Virta. 'We see a significant reduction in depressive symptoms among people who improve their metabolic health, which is why we continue to be invested in working with Lyra to direct people with metabolic conditions – and behavioral and mental health concerns – to the right care.'
Lyra Link is powered by the Lyra Empower platform, delivering an intuitive, AI-driven experience that connects members to the right care, equips providers with a more complete view of each individual's health needs, and gives HR leaders real-time, aggregated insights—while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security.
Employers can effortlessly integrate their portfolio of benefits partners with Lyra Link by requesting the desired connections during implementation. This turnkey solution for benefits leaders creates a powerful, one-stop care experience for their employees.
Lyra's growing ecosystem of benefits partners continues to expand. Among the first cohort to integrate with Link are:
Carrum Health – cancer, surgery, substance use
Cleo - family benefits, caregiving
Hinge Health – musculoskeletal (MSK)
Posterity Health - comprehensive male care

Lyra Health Introduces Centers of Excellence to Help Employees Thrive Through Life's Most Challenging Moments
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lyra Health, the leading provider of innovative Workforce Mental Health solutions for employers, today introduced its Centers of Excellence (COEs), specialized programs designed to support the highest-need members through coordinated, expert-led care. Lyra's COEs deliver faster recovery and improved outcomes by connecting members to the right level of care early, reducing the need for costly interventions like emergency room visits and hospitalizations, and lowering total health care spend for employers. The COE model builds on Lyra's core clinical foundation to support conditions where traditional systems often fall short, such as supporting neurodiverse individuals of all ages, women's mental health, and employees managing mental health needs alongside chronic conditions. Each Center connects members to a team of specialists—therapists, prescribing clinicians, coaches, and family support experts—who collaborate under structured care plans tailored to specific conditions. This approach delivers personalized support for members, while helping employers manage health care costs and reduce disability leaves. 'The mental health system often fails people when they need it most—during periods of profound change or crisis,' said Dr. Connie Chen, Chief Medical Officer, Lyra Health. 'Whether it's a parent navigating their child's new diagnosis, managing mental health alongside a chronic condition, or seeking support through experiences like fertility struggles, pregnancy, caregiving, or menopause, the journey can be overwhelming. Our Centers of Excellence bring structure, support, and science to these critical life moments, helping people get better, faster.' Lyra's Centers of Excellence are built to help employees and families navigate a disconnected system, coordinating between therapists, psychiatrists, medical providers, and specialists. Each Center delivers condition-specific support grounded in clinical expertise, proactive care coordination, and personalized treatment plans that evolve with the individual. Specialized Support Where It's Needed Most Lyra is committed to addressing urgent and costly mental health needs that are increasingly common in today's workforce. Lyra's Centers of Excellence provide access to multidisciplinary support and replace fragmentation with structured, collaborative care: Center of Excellence for Neurodiversity offers neuropsychological assessments, diagnosis and tailored care for ADHD, and support for autism and learning differences, designed for individuals, workplaces, and families Center of Excellence supporting Chronic Conditions offers mental health care for members managing co-occurring conditions like chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, and sleep issues Center of Excellence for Women's Mental Health delivers evidence-based, personalized support across every life stage for women—from menstrual health and fertility through pregnancy, postpartum, caregiving, and menopause As mental health needs continue to evolve, Lyra will build on its COEs to both deepen existing areas of support and introduce new Centers, ensuring members and employers have access to comprehensive support across the full spectrum of needs. Raising the Standard for Mental Health in the Workplace Each Center is grounded in five foundational pillars: Deep clinical expertise in-house, led by Lyra's network of evidence-based mental health providers specializing in fields like pediatrics, autism spectrum disorder, weight management, and women's mental health Multi-disciplinary, team-based care with mental health professionals, physical health benefits providers, and health specialists collaborating directly to deliver seamless whole-person support, removing the burden of care coordination from the member Measurable outcomes, with clear tracking of clinical progress, recovery timelines, and care quality to ensure members improve faster and employers see real impact Standardized best practices based on evidence-based protocols, clinical research, and continuous quality improvement to drive consistent, high-quality care across every Center Scalability and innovation, powered by AI and predictive analytics to personalize care pathways and adapt to evolving workforce needs For more information about Lyra's Centers of Excellence, visit About Lyra Health Lyra Health is the leading provider of Workforce Mental Health benefits, available to more than 20 million people globally.
