SoulBeing Teams Up with Walgreens Find Care to Offer Health and Wellness Support

Communities need access to integrated wellness care to manage mental, physical, and emotional health as well as chronic condition needs

PORTLAND, Maine, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SoulBeing today announced that its complementary and alternative services platform is now available through Walgreens Find Care^®. The platform offers on-demand access to a network of health and wellness services from traditional and alternative healthcare providers to help patients manage their total wellbeing, both in person and virtually.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, one out of every five people (51.5 million) in the United States lived with a mental illness.[i] At the height of the pandemic, 40% of adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depression, compared with 11% pre-COVID. This percentage dipped to 33% in June 2022, still higher than pre-pandemic levels.

"The pandemic drew attention to a growing mental health crisis in this country, and the need for comprehensive, evidence-based therapies that provide positive outcomes," said Colleen Kavanagh, SoulBeing CEO. "We believe that making it easier to access providers who address these needs is the first line of defense. By plugging our offerings into Walgreens Find Care, we provide our communities with critical health care options they didn't have before."
