CuraLinc Healthcare Expands Partner Network Announcing Strategic Oshi Health Partnership
CHICAGO, Illinois, November 5, 2024 – CuraLinc Healthcare, a leading provider of mental health and wellbeing programs for employees, students and families, announces the expansion of its Partner Network, featuring a new partnership with Oshi Health, the first and only virtual digestive health center of excellence. CuraLinc recognizes that to provide the highest quality of care our programs must address whole-person wellbeing and extend beyond mental health to encompass physical, financial, and social dimensions. By expanding the CuraLinc Partner Network our clients can easily integrate various benefits to ensure employees have seamless access to high-quality care.
The CuraLinc Partner Network is designed to address the disjointed approach many employees face when they need health and wellbeing support, especially given the interconnected nature of so many health conditions. The goal of expanding our Partner Network is to incorporate new partners that will simplify access to care, reduce silos, and increase engagement in mental and physical health programs. Our integration model promotes early identification of co-occurring health issues, leading to better management of chronic conditions and improved overall health outcomes.
“Our expanded Partner Network represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide holistic care that truly meets the needs of employees,” said Kathy Mahieu, Senior Vice President of Strategy. “By integrating specialized care providers with our mental health services, we’re not only improving access to essential care and resources but also fostering a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection that is critical for improving overall wellbeing.”
Oshi Health’s innovative virtual care model utilizes a multidisciplinary team to provide evidence-based diagnosis and treatment for all gastrointestinal conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s Disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Research shows that nearly one in three individuals with gastrointestinal conditions also experience anxiety or depression. With our integrated approach, we can help employees navigate these interconnected issues more effectively, ultimately leading to improved quality of life, reduced absenteeism, and better workplace outcomes.
“Mental health conditions are often linked to digestive health disorders, which in turn, can increase anxiety and chronic stress and make GI symptoms even worse. It’s truly a vicious cycle,” said Randy Forman, Chief Commercial Officer of Oshi Health. “Our whole-person multidisciplinary approach addresses the physical and emotional burdens of GI conditions, and empowers people to reclaim their lives from debilitating symptoms. The idea that this care can be part of an integrated care plan for mental wellbeing makes it all the more meaningful to patients, and effective for employers.”
CuraLinc Health is committed to providing comprehensive health and wellbeing solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing benefits through our Partner Network. By fostering collaborations with leading organizations like Oshi Health, we enhance our ability to support employee wellbeing and address the multifaceted challenges they face. Our holistic approach not only improves access to essential resources but also drives significant cost savings for employers, leading to higher engagement, increased satisfaction, and better overall health outcomes for employees.
