Wildflower Health Names Curio Healthcare Its Preferred Mental Health Partner

The partnership embeds specialized, FDA-cleared maternal mental health care directly into women’s health navigation

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Curio Healthcare and Wildflower Health today announced a partnership that marks a turning point for maternal mental health care. Curio’s specialized, clinician-led mental health programs are directly integrated into Wildflower’s connected care ecosystem. Through this partnership, women navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause will have seamless access to mental health care that is built specifically for them.

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders affect one in five women, making mental health support a foundational piece of comprehensive maternal care. This partnership bridges a critical gap by directly connecting women to specialized mental health resources when they need them most. By investing in a mother’s emotional well-being, we are directly safeguarding the health, development, and future of the entire family.

The MamaLift Program
At the center of the partnership is the MamaLift Program — a specialized, therapist-led model of care in which Curio’s trained maternal mental health clinicians use FDA-cleared digital programs and tools to enhance treatment. The program includes MamaLift Plus™, the first and only FDA-cleared prescription digital therapeutic for treatment of mild to moderate postpartum depression symptoms. Human and digital care combined together have the ability to deliver evidence-based care at scale. The human component is delivered through Curio’s Nora Franchise system.

“This partnership reflects our belief that reproductive mental health must be an embedded standard of care, not an afterthought. Together with Wildflower, we are not offering women a referral — we are offering them a team.”
— Shailja Dixit, MD, MPH, MS, CEO & Founder, Curio Healthcare

Wildflower partners with OB/GYN providers and health plans nationwide to extend the model of women’s care using integrated technology, data and services. When Wildflower’s human-led support team and tech-enabled platform identifies a woman at rising mental health risk, she is now connected to Curio’s network of specially trained maternal mental health therapists, supported by continuous symptom monitoring and structured therapeutic content.

“Unaddressed mental health challenges are a major driver of poor outcomes and rising costs; by combining forces with Curio, we can proactively close these gaps, lower the total cost of care, and ensure no mother falls through the cracks of a fragmented system.”
— Leah Sparks, CEO & Founder, Wildflower Health

Because mental health conditions are a leading cause of maternal mortality, a timely referral is quite literally a suicide and self-harm prevention strategy. Getting a woman to a specialist quickly changes her trajectory from crisis management to active recovery. In a pilot program of the Wildflower and Curio partnership, women received referrals to support in less than 2 days. Engagement remained high, with 85% of referred patients downloading the MamaLift app and 64% of referred patients completing at least an initial therapy session. From OB to Wildflower to Curio, this integrated clinical layer delivers the right mental health care, from the right clinician, exactly when it matters most.
