In July 2021, Wondr Health™ (formerly Naturally Slim), a digital behavior change company focused on weight management and preventing chronic disease, announced the next strategic step in advancing its mission to do the most good for the most people. Wondr has acquired eMindful, a provider of evidence-based mindfulness programs for everyday life and chronic conditions. Together, utilizing skill-building, applied mindfulness, and behavior change techniques, the solutions build the first-of-its-kind “preventive care powerhouse” that helps employers achieve the best health outcomes and highest ROI, driving engagement across their entire benefits platform.
The Healthcare M&A practice of Duff & Phelps, A Kroll Business, served as the exclusive financial advisor to eMindful in connection with the transaction.
