THURSTON THRIVES

Thurston Thrives is a community initiative to improve the health and safety for all people in Thurston County. Using a collective impact framework, Thurston Thrives brings together local jurisdictions, businesses and nonprofits to find new ways of working together to address our regions' most pressing needs... Thurston Thrives is based upon the model of the social determinants of health-that the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. We believe that health is more than healthcare, and that our community's complex problems-poverty, homelessness, or kindergarten readiness-cannot be solved by one organization alone.
