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 Virta – weight loss, diabetes Wellthy - family care, care navigation, EAP 9amHealth - specialist cardiometabolic & weight management care For more information about Lyra's Workforce Mental Health benefits for employers, visit About Lyra Health Lyra Health is the leading provider of mental health solutions for employers available to more than 20 million people globally.

East Kilbride civil engineers raise over £4k for charities
Dougall Baillie Associates (DBA), based in East Kilbride, held the quiz night at Revolution as a celebration of DBA's 40th year in the industry, raising £2,300 for Beatson Cancer Charity. They also have staff members Sean McBride and Daniel Cooke complete the Adidas Manchester Marathon, a 26-mile run, that raised more than £2,000 for Alzheimer's charities. Their marathon run was in front of more than 140,000 people that attended the event. READ MORE: Business owner hits out at silence over Celtic title party Fergus Adams, managing director at Dougall Baillie Associates, said: "We feel very proud of our great team at Dougall Baillie Associates, who work very hard and very professionally in their day jobs, but still find time to raise much-needed cash for those less fortunate than themselves. "The quiz night marked our 40th year of operations in a highly competitive field and we were delighted that so many of our colleagues, friends, customers and suppliers supported us in raising this splendid sum for the Beatson. "Congratulations to Sean and Daniel, who trained hard for what must be one of the toughest challenges in sport, and did themselves and DBA proud. "These achievements will inspire the whole team to continue their fundraising efforts." DBA workers last year raised a similar sum for charity last year, with a series of events such as walking, running, and cycling.
