Kids Thrive 585, Inc. is a child and family focused organization that highlights good works occurring throughout the Rochester, NY community with a goal to improve access to resources for children, caregivers, and child advocates. Rochester, NY has been celebrated across the country for its wealth of community resources for children and families. It is not uncommon, however, for some of its rich r
esources to go unnoticed by the very community it serves! Megan Callanan Lasaponara, MD, born and bred in Rochester, was awed by the amazing good works taking place right in her back yard. Dr. Lasaponara founded Kids Thrive 585 in 2012 as part of her Community Health and Advocacy Resident Education (CARE) path during her medical training. She soon gained both professional and community followers raising awareness and improving access to local resources with KidsThrive585.org. The Kids Thrive 585 website has accumulated thousands of hits and continues to evolve and grow with the help and support of the local community.
