SPARKPITTSBURGH Initiative
A collaborative effort bringing together individuals and organizations to revolutionize healthcare delivery and community well-being in Western Pennsylvania and beyond.
What If Better Healthcare Could Change our Community?
Revolutionizing Healthcare in Western Pennsylvania:
For nearly two decades, SparkPittsburgh has been at the forefront of promoting wellness and personal growth in our community. Through our online platform, app, and annual fitness challenges, we've built a thriving community dedicated to health and well-being.
Now, we're taking our mission further by bringing together an alliance of individuals and organizations to help us reshape healthcare by getting the word out that we've restored care delivery to the way it was always intended, being patient centered and on focused treatment and prevention. We believe that this type of care should be accessible to everyone because when you take better care of people, they stay healthy - and we all save money.
By collectively leveraging these savings to support and accelerate community programs, we can realize a healthier, vibrant, and more prosperous Western Pennsylvania. Together, we can improve millions of lives and save billions of dollars across our region each year.
Western Pennsylvania is leading the charge to transform healthcare, guided by executive champions, comprehensive solutions, and a roadmap including a

Investing in Solutions
We are bold enough to believe we can change healthcare but are humble enough to know we can not do so alone. This is why we champion investment in solutions that drive impact in the communities we call home.PEOPLEONE Health: The Evolution of SPARKAMERICA
