Health systems spend their days caring for patients, but the people delivering that care are under strain of their own. In Lyra's 2026 State of Workforce Mental Health report, nearly half of hospital staff said they're in "survival mode," navigating rising mental health needs, caregiving pressures and demanding clinical environments. Yet support often stops at access. EAPs have long supported workplace mental health, but low engagement remains a significant barrier.
For benefits leaders, the distance between what's offered and what's used has become one of the clearest opportunities — and risks — in the entire strategy.
This panel discussion brings together health system leaders to explore what it takes to build a benefits strategy with mental health at its core. You'll learn how to drive meaningful engagement, better health outcomes, a clear ROI and an experience employees actually value. Panelists will compare how they're closing the access-to-outcomes gap, simplifying a complex benefits experience through stronger navigation and care coordination, and making the business case for mental health investment in a cost-pressured environment.
