“As a physician, I have seen that some patients do well with behavior change alone, and others benefit from the use of medications and devices as well,” said Patrick Carroll, MD, medical director of Vida Health. “At Vida, we know that treatment does not end with a prescription. We always combine prescriptions with therapy or training through sustained human relationships with our providers to ensure members have the ongoing support they need to be successful.”
Organizations seeking value and access to care for their entire population once had to resort to deploying multiple siled point solutions to address both subclinical and higher-acuity care needs. Now, advances in virtual care allow these organizations to use a comprehensive solution to provide easier access to personalized treatment across broad populations and risk levels. People with common co-occurring conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, depression, anxiety, and more, may make more progress when treated together than alone. With its network of licensed practitioners spanning 50 states, Vida also coordinates care with members’ primary care physicians as needed to ensure a seamless member experience.
With licensed providers, including prescribing physicians and nurse practitioners, Vida’s prescription services unlock broader treatment options and better outcomes across the spectrum of chronic physical and mental conditions. Highly personalized care plans tailor prescribing approaches to each member’s needs, from prescribing to medication management.
“With an overwhelming number of virtual care options on the market, our customers are looking for ways to comprehensively cover their higher-cost members,” said Stephanie Tilenius, founder and CEO of Vida Health. “When we realized that you can’t treat needs without mental health support, we created a model that does both. Through years of experience providing integrated care, we’ve found an opportunity to support our most critical members with option to add, remove, or change your cardiometabolic recipes.
But recipes are only part of the picture, Tilenius points out.
“Particularly for complex cardiometabolic conditions with concurrent mental health issues, more than just medication is needed,” he emphasized. “Other tools like labs and devices are critical. We want to speed up access to these tools for those who might benefit, which is why we’re so excited to announce our prescription services.”

Vida’s comprehensive care pathways are designed to meet the diverse needs of entire populations.
