Coffee with CuraLinc

How Cardinal Health Balances Cost and Care in Its Mental Health Strategy

Join us on August 20, 2026 at 10 a.m. CT

Ann Beauchamp, Manager of Mental Wellbeing at Cardinal Health, joins Coffee with CuraLinc to talk through a question many employers are wrestling with: what is the employer's role in mental health, and where does that responsibility begin and end?

Ann shares how Cardinal Health worked through what it can reasonably influence, the internal listening that shaped its framework, and how the organization maps support across the individual, the job, leaders, and the enterprise.

She also speaks to the pressure nearly every benefits team is feeling right now, containing cost while still doing right by their people, and the challenge of making a financial case when so much of the return on mental health investment is hard to quantify.
