Talkspace and Wheel form strategic partnership for comprehensive virtual care

Talkspace and Wheel have joined forces to provide virtual access to board-certified general practitioners and licensed behavioural health providers across the U.S. The strategic partnership aims to offer a unified solution for Talkspace and Wheel clients, including employers, payers, and life sciences companies. 

This collaboration addresses diverse healthcare needs, ranging from general wellness to mental health, and is particularly beneficial for dynamic workforces, including remote workers and those outside healthcare epicentres. With over 160 million Americans residing in areas with insufficient mental health resources and long wait times for therapy and psychiatric services, the partnership strives to enhance access to quality care.

The collaboration leverages Talkspace's nearly 5,000 licensed providers and Wheel's virtual care platform, enabling patients to match with a clinician within minutes. This unique partnership offers a scalable and cost-efficient solution for virtual care delivery, providing greater access, convenience, and flexibility for patients. The integration of Talkspace into Wheel's platform enhances patient access and depth of integrated care across the U.S., offering customers more choices, flexibility, and patient-first options to ensure high-quality patient care in the virtual health landscape.
