A Former Steeler’s New Take On Mental Health
Super Bowl champ — and forever Pittsburgher — Ryan Mundy thrived on the field in the shadow of groundbreaking concussion research. But as he pondered his post-game career, he wondered what was out there for folks like him looking for guidance on how to heal himself from the inside out. Now he’s created a tech platform, Alkeme Health, aimed at addressing mental health by and for the Black community.
- "We’re focused on the Black community and we designed our platform to meet the needs of the Black community but we are not Black exclusive. … What’s good for Black people is good for all people.”
