Historically chronic conditions like diabetes have been treated in a silo. Nearly half of Americans have more than one chronic health condition, and people with depression have a 40% higher risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Singular point solutions that perpetuate siloed care are not the answer to helping your population most effectively manage their chronic and mental healthcare needs.

This fireside chat brings together Dr. Robert Gabbay, Chief Scientific & Medical Officer for the American Diabetes Association with Vida Health to discuss why the best way to treat diabetes is to treat the body and the mind together.

In this session employers will learn:

• Why integrated care provides stronger clinical outcomes
• The ROI of integrated care
• Why addressing mental health challenges is key to unlocking chronic health outcomes
• The future of diabetes management
