ThriveKC Health Initiative
Essential Medical Care for Working Families — 100% Covered
What Is the ThriveKC Health Initiative?
Life costs more, and working families deserve more than survival.
Rent, groceries, and utilities stretch budgets thin. Many individuals and families are doing everything right — working hard — yet still living paycheck to paycheck. Thriving shouldn’t mean choosing between health care and rent, food, or your child’s needs.
The ThriveKC Health Initiative is designed for working individuals and families who earn too much to qualify for public assistance, yet still struggle to afford essential medical care. If you’re working, living paycheck to paycheck, and falling through the cracks — this program is here for you.
