Curi today announced it has been recognized as a Wellbeing First Champion for 2025 by ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare, a coalition of organizations led by the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation, a nonprofit established to promote the mental health and well-being of all healthcare providers. Curi's insurance business is the first medical professional liability insurer to receive this distinction.

As a Wellbeing First Champion, Curi has verified that its insurance applications are now free of intrusive or stigmatizing language related to mental health. With these updates, physicians applying for coverage will no longer be asked to disclose distant or resolved mental health history. Instead, applicants will demonstrate their current fitness to practice — an approach that reflects today's best standards for supporting clinician wellbeing and privacy.

"At Curi, we are dedicated to standing with physicians in both their professional and personal lives," said Jason Sandner, CEO of Curi. "Being recognized as a Wellbeing First Champion affirms that commitment. This isn't just a change to an application. It's a reflection of how we believe the industry must evolve to prioritize compassion, understanding and the mental wellbeing of those who care for others."

Verification that all invasive or stigmatizing language around mental health has been removed from applications is confirmed annually by ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare, which works to eliminate barriers for health workers to access mental healthcare.

"Curi's leadership demonstrates how insurers can play a pivotal role in normalizing and protecting access to mental healthcare for healthcare professionals," said Corey Feist, co-founder of ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare and CEO of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation. "By removing stigmatizing questions from insurance applications, Curi is helping to dismantle one of the most persistent barriers to physician wellbeing. Their leadership is sending a powerful message to clinicians: your wellbeing matters, and seeking help should never put your career at risk."
