Breaking barriers to build healthier lives on the Northside.

Thrive18 was launched by the Northside's Project Destiny in 2018 to help residents overcome the barriers that prevent them from receiving healthcare and leading healthier lives. These social determinants of health barriers include food insecurity, lack of transportation, inadequate housing opportunities and, inability to access childcare and many more.

Transforming access, changing lives.

By using community health workers to identify and help develop solutions to overcome these barriers, as well as partnering with Highmark WholeCare, Allegheny General Hospital, Allegheny County's Department of Human Services and Health Department and the City of Pittsburgh, Thrive18 has created a sustainable pathway to better health outcomes for thousands of Northside residents - and is working tirelessly to help many more.

I love to see people's lives turn around. So, I love to see people who don't have a voice, have a voice.
