Case Study: Alector achieves improved employee mental well‑being and access to care with Modern Health

Biotech company tackles barriers to mental health care for their employees

Alector, a biotech company focused on therapies for neurodegenerative diseases with 250+ employees, faced gaps in mental health support from a limited EAP and wanted more proactive, preventative care for staff. They partnered with Modern Health in 2019 to expand access to comprehensive mental wellness services, including one‑on‑one provider sessions, coaching, digital resources, and community “Circles.”

Modern Health implemented multi‑modal care that emphasized early intervention and ongoing support; 91% of members with subclinical needs had no increased risk, 98% of Alector employees reported confidence in their provider, and 90% said care improved their well‑being. The program drove strong engagement (70% used two or more modalities) and helped Alector offer more meaningful, measurable mental health benefits to employees.
