Mission
Everyone deserves a chance to thrive.
Your health is influenced by where you live, what you earn, whether you have reliable transportation, and whether healthy food is within reach. For too many South Side families, those everyday challenges make staying healthy harder than it should be.
That’s the reason Thrive South Side exists. We bring together healthcare and community support around all the things that impact health. We make getting help simpler, more connected, and more personal.
Our Values
We believe:
- Health is about more than healthcare. Good care includes food, housing, transportation, jobs, and other supports that set the stage for good health.
- Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. Where you live or what you earn shouldn’t determine your health.
- Lasting change takes partnership. Thrive South Side brings together healthcare providers, community organizations, and the State of Illinois to improve health across the South Side.
