Modern Health Rings the Opening Bell for Nasdaq’s Wellness Week

Modern Health celebrated a milestone moment as Founder and CEO Alyson Watson rang the Nasdaq Opening Bell during Wellness Week. Learn how we’re making mental health a strength for all, with over 6.5 million moments of care delivered globally, and see how our Times Square breathing exercise is inspiring mindfulness for 2025.

This week, Modern Health Founder and CEO Alyson Watson had the honor of ringing the Nasdaq Opening Bell during the 7th annual Wellness Week, a celebration of companies leading the way in fostering healthier, more resilient workplaces and communities. 

Standing in Times Square, Alyson delivered a powerful message: mental health is not just a personal priority—it’s a strategic necessity for thriving organizations. 

Modern Health also lit up the Nasdaq Tower, inviting passersby to pause, breathe, and reflect. A guided breathing exercise encouraged viewers to embrace mental fitness for the new year and prioritize their well-being in 2025.

Milestones That Matter

During her remarks, Alyson reflected on Modern Health’s mission to make mental health a strength and priority for all. She shared a key milestone: delivering over 6.4 million moments of care worldwide

Behind every number is a story—of an employee, parent, or caregiver who found the right support exactly when they needed it. As one member shared:

"Before Modern Health, accessing mental health support felt like navigating a maze. Now, I can find the right support quickly, right when I need it most—during my lunch break or after my kids are asleep."

These stories reflect Modern Health’s impact: making mental health care accessible, personalized, and proactive.

From Challenges to Solutions

Alyson also acknowledged the challenges still ahead. Mental health is a leading reason employees struggle to show up at work, but stigma and inequitable access remain significant barriers. 

Modern Health’s needs-based care model is designed to tackle these issues head-on, offering scalable, personalized solutions that meet people where they are.

"By raising awareness about mental health, we're doing more than just starting conversations—we're changing lives," Alyson said. "Healthy organizations depend on healthy people, and Modern Health is transforming workplaces worldwide for both individuals and the businesses they support."

"When we invest in mental health, we’re not just transforming individual lives—we’re building stronger workplaces, families, and communities," Alyson said. "Together with our partners, customers, and members, we’re building a future where taking care of our mental health is a priority."

Lighting the Way to a Healthier Future

Modern Health’s participation in Nasdaq’s Wellness Week is a reminder of the power of community and innovation in advancing global mental health. As we move into 2025, let’s prioritize resilience and well-being—making mental health a strength for all.
