Acquisition will add dedicated mental health therapists to advance Aduro's whole-person care approach for self-insured employers
SEATTLE, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aduro, the Health and Human Performance company, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Trusana, a leading mental health and wellness platform, serving employers for five years with a Net Promoter Score of 90. The transaction is expected to close late November 2025. The acquisition strengthens Aduro's integrative care team by adding comprehensive mental health services to its existing health, well-being and care offerings. This new offering will allow members to have quick access to high-quality mental health therapists fully immersed in their current experience without having to download another app. "Mental health is inseparable from physical health and human performance," said Dr. Darren White, CEO of Aduro. "Trusana's proven track record of quality care and their dedicated provider model makes them the perfect addition to complete our vision of whole care for the whole person."
Unlike the traditional approach of connecting members to a network of contracted providers as seen in the marketplace, Trusana operates with a dedicated team of licensed mental health professionals enabling superior quality and consistent access to care. This approach aligns with Aduro's philosophy of owning integrative care rather than aggregating disparate services.
"Great care starts with great insight. By bringing Trusana into Aduro, our members will gain access to therapists who will now see the most complete view combining physical and mental health fulfilling the mission to fully support the whole person. That makes every interaction richer, more personal, and more effective," says Dr. Toni Best, Chief Health and Human Performance Officer at Aduro.
The acquisition comes as employers increasingly recognize the critical connection between mental health and workplace performance. Recent studies show that untreated mental health conditions cost employers up to $300 billion annually in lost productivity, while comprehensive mental health support can deliver a 4:1 return on investment.
Aduro Intelligence: Seeing the Pattern Sooner
"On average, people wait more than a decade between the first signs of mental health challenges and getting care--because it's hard to recognize when everyday struggles become something more," says Renee Petrie, Chief Product Officer. "It's the difference between weather and climate: a few tough days can feel normal until a deeper pattern sets in. Aduro Intelligence highlights often hidden insights across engagement, well-being, and daily experience--helping people recognize the bigger picture sooner, so they can get the support they need. Applying this Intelligence to mental health means we can meet people earlier, more personally, and with the care they deserve."
The acquisition enables Aduro to offer truly integrated mental and physical health services through a single platform. Trusana's mental health expertise will enhance Aduro Intelligence, the company's AI platform, by incorporating psychological and behavioral data into personalized health recommendations.
For employers, this means addressing the full spectrum of factors affecting employee performance—from metabolic health and nutrition to stress management and mental wellness—through one comprehensive solution.
Strengthening Market Position
The acquisition positions Aduro to compete more effectively as major players expand their mental health offerings. Many solutions struggle with engagement as care is often yet another app to download. By combining Trusana's proven mental health offering with Aduro's AI-powered health optimization technology, the company delivers an integrated solution that addresses both immediate mental health needs and long-term performance optimization.
Trusana services will be fully powered by the Aduro platform over the coming months and available to Aduro Clients in Q1 2026. Existing Trusana clients will continue receiving uninterrupted service during the transition.
