Whole-Person Specialty Care: Integrating Mental Health for Optimal Patient Outcomes
Join Carrum Health, Lyra Health, and United Airlines to explore how integrating mental health support into complex care journeys improves experiences, strengthens recovery, and lowers the total cost of care.
What you’ll learn
Serious health events, whether a major surgery, cancer treatment, or substance use treatment, do not happen in isolation. They bring emotional and psychological challenges that directly impact how people engage with care, recover, and return to their lives.
Yet too often, traditional mental health care and specialty care are treated separately, creating gaps in the experience and missed opportunities to improve both short- and long-term outcomes.
Join Carrum Health, Lyra Health, and United Airlines to explore how integrating mental health support into complex care journeys improves experiences, strengthens recovery, and lowers the total cost of care. Together, we will discuss what it means to support people—and their loved ones—more fully through these moments and why it matters for both employees and employers.
In this session, you will learn:
- Why addressing mental health is critical to the success of complex care conditions
- Where employees and their loved ones face the greatest challenges, and how integrated support improves engagement and the entire care journey
- How Carrum and Lyra work together to connect value-based centers of excellence and high-quality mental health care, helping people recover more quickly, avoid setbacks, and experience a smoother path to healing
