Ginger provides companies and organizations with access to on-demand behavioral health support for their entire population.

About Dr Molly Coye
Coye currently serves as Executive in Residence at AVIA, the nation’s leading network for health provider systems seeking to innovate and transform through the deployment of digital solutions. She was a member of the board of directors at Aetna, Inc. for 15 years, where she chaired the Medical Affairs Committee and was a member of the Executive Committee. Prior to that, she held a variety of leadership roles in both the public and private sectors, including Chief Innovation Officer at UCLA Health, Director of the California Department of Health Services, and Commissioner of Health for the State of New Jersey. Having advised global technology developers, investors, national health systems and policymakers, Coye brings to Ginger her extensive expertise at the nexus of healthcare and technology to improve the delivery and affordability of health services.
“My mother’s career as a social worker drove my passion for democratizing high-quality care,” Coye said. “Today, the need for emotional and mental health services has never been greater, and yet the industry struggles to meet that need. Ginger has created a transformative way of providing immediate, high-quality behavioral health support to people, right when they need it, and I’m excited to join their mission.”
Ginger has transformed how behavioral health care is accessed and delivered by using data and artificial intelligence (AI) to empower a virtual staff of highly-qualified emotional health coaches, therapists, and psychiatrists. Care is informed by insights generated from nearly 2 million clinical assessments and 45 million chat messages. Coaching is the backbone of Ginger’s virtual medical practice and provides people with support for day-to-day challenges, such as reaching personal goals and reducing stress. Within seconds of downloading the app, members are matched with a care team and can begin chatting with a coach at any time of day or night. If needed, coaches can escalate members to appointments with Ginger therapists or psychiatrists. Results from Ginger’s measurement-based, collaborative care model are promising: the average member rating per session is 4.6 out of 5 stars. Over the last 12 months, 72 percent of Ginger members surveyed reported clinically significant improvements in symptoms of depression within 12 weeks.
