Thrive United.
Live United.
We believe everyone in our community deserves a lifetime of good health. So our programs help North Texans thrive, both now and in the future.
Good health affects everything from how well a child can learn to how much an adult can earn. That’s why we create, lead and invest in programs that enable residents to get and stay healthy. Together, we give North Texans the opportunity to live longer, better lives.
Our Approach
Without healthy habits, a safe place to call home or quality healthcare, it’s hard to lead a productive life. We seek to change this by teaching and promoting healthy living, preventing family violence and providing healthcare to those who need it most.
