Celebrating Excellence!
Join us in congratulating our 2024 Thrive Awardees, honored at this last year’s Annual Thrive Gathering for their incredible contributions and unwavering support of the Equity Action Lab projects.
Chosen by our EAL Awardees, these champions embody the spirit of collaboration and dedication that fuels our mission to build thriving, socially connected communities.
Together, we’re paving the way for empowerment, equity, and well-being for all. Let’s keep making an impact, together.
Each year, the Center holds its Annual Gathering – a time to come together as a community and for the community. We showcase the impact of the Center, share ideas, and spark meaningful connections with our neighbors and organizations making a difference to create a Florida where everyone can thrive.
“By bringing organizations and community members together, we are helping create the conditions for resiliency, connection and action…I left inspired by the work that is taking place, and irrevocably connected to the communities gathered.”
– Dr. Kelli Tice, Advisory Board Member for the Center for Thriving Communities
“More people need to experience the love and light that filled this room. This was the fuel we all needed to help us all thrive!”

In 2024, the Center launched its Training and Equity Action Lab pillars. An Equity Action Lab is a model that engages community members to address a health improvement goal. These two pillars initially focused on mental health, the number one priority identified through the Center's 2023 listening sessions
In 2022, UF Health Jacksonville and its community partners 904WARD, Hispanic Federation, and Florida Health Justice Project established a statewide center to address the health and the social drivers necessary for communities to achieve the highest levels of health and well - being with a four-year grant from the Florida Blue Foundation.
