Thrive with Us
ThriveOBX is igniting a movement for well-being, connection and longevity. Research shows that only about 30% of our longevity is tied to our genetics. Another 10% is influenced by access to essential healthcare services. The remaining 60% of what influences how long and healthy we live is within our control.
It’s the choices we make every day that determine our future.
Our mission is to inspire Outer Banks residents and visitors with the tools, programs and information to live with purpose, energy and joy, creating a culture where everyone thrives.
