THRIVE! Southern Lorain County is a health-focused community collaborative powered by United Way
​of Greater Lorain County,
dedicated to helping you
and ​your family live healthier.

OUR GOALS: to reduce the risks of obesity, heart disease ​and diabetes in the region. 


THE NEED IS GREAT: Few programs are in place to support health and wellness in southern Lorain County. Research has shown that 38% are obese, 32% are overweight, 26% have heart disease,
13% have diabetes ​and 12% are smokers. ​
​What's more, the poverty rate in rural
southern Lorain County ​is as high as the
most ​impoverished neighborhoods of our cities.
