Spring Health CEO April Koh

When Spring Health launched in 2016, virtual therapy had not yet gone mainstream and most employers were still treating mental health as a secondary benefit. Founded by April Koh and Adam Chekroud, the company built an employer-focused platform that connects patients to therapy, coaching, medication management, and other mental-health services, both online and in person. Now it is growing beyond the workplace. In January, Spring Health announced an agreement to acquire Alma, whose platform helps independent mental-health clinicians build in-network practices. The deal, expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, would give Spring a far larger provider infrastructure—Alma has a network of 26,000 clinicians—and further its goal of becoming a lifelong mental health platform designed to keep patients connected to care even as jobs, insurance coverage, and clinical needs change.
