AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT HEAL

Los Angeles, California-based Heal (Get Heal Inc), a healthcare technology company providing home-based primary care and telehealth services, has announced layoffs prior to a potential sale or merger.

The layoffs will impact 182 employees at its Marina del Rey headquarters and an additional 60 employees in Brooklyn, New York, effective February 14, 2022.

San Francisco, California-based Cerebral, a telemedicine company specializing in providing remote mental health services, has announced an operational restructuring with a major 20% reduction in force as a response to reduced patient demand and lower growth estimates.

The layoffs will impact approximately 400 employees

According to Cerebral CEO Dr. David Mou,"Changes would be spread across all divisions, including headquarters, clinical-care teams, and support staff. These are challenging times for many companies. In order to continue to work towards our mission, we have a duty to our patients to ensure our business is healthy and sustainable throughout challenging economic times.”

The company, which advertises on social media platforms, has been under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Justice over its prescribing of controlled substances like Adderall and Xanax. "Cerebral offers therapy and counseling for conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and ADHD. Unlike some other online mental health services, it also offers prescriptions for controlled substances used to treat some of those conditions."
