Summary

Cain Brothers, a division of KeyBanc Capital Markets, served as exclusive financial advisor to EmblemHealth in the sale of its subsidiary, WellSpark, to Vitality.

Cain Brothers was engaged by EmblemHealth to sell its wholly owned subsidiary, WellSpark, because of its long-standing relationship and employer health expertise. On November 19, Vitality announced the acquisition of WellSpark and its intention to integrate WellSpark’s coaching solutions, offering Vitality’s employer and health plan clients access to a range of new services and additional tools to support their health and well-being. 

WellSpark is a health coaching company and digital platform that provides wellness solutions to employers as part of their benefits offerings. Since its beginning in 2013, the company has helped its members live healthier and more fulfilling lives by providing human-to-human support, intervening early for chronic condition management, and breaking biopsychosocial barriers that prevent its members from making lasting change.

EmblemHealth is one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health insurers, with more than 3 million members and an 80-year legacy of serving New York’s communities. The company offers a range of commercial and government-sponsored health plans to employers, individuals, and families, as well as convenient community resources. As a market leader in value-based care, EmblemHealth partners with top providers and hospitals to deliver quality, affordable care.

Guided by a core purpose of making people healthier, Vitality is the leader in improving health to unlock outcomes that matter. By blending industry-leading smart tech, data, AI, incentives, and behavioral science, Vitality inspires healthy changes in individuals and organizations. As one of the largest health and well-being companies in the world, Vitality brings a dynamic and diverse perspective through successful partnerships with the most forward-thinking insurers and employers.

More than 35 million people in 41 markets globally engage in the Vitality program.
