Flourish and Thrive Labs, LLC (F&T Labs) is a public health consultancy and technology firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Grayslake, Illinois. The company works with government health departments in the United States, providing AI solutions, strategic planning, training, and custom software development aimed at modernising public health operations while maintaining compliance and security. It is an SBA 8(a) certified, woman-owned small business.
The firm's technical work spans artificial intelligence, custom software development, AWS cloud development, Salesforce development, and data modernisation. Its proprietary PH360 platform delivers AI solutions tailored to the needs and constraints of health departments. Delivery is guided by the THRIVE Methodology, a proprietary approach that emphasises capacity building so that client teams can sustain and grow solutions independently once a project ends.
F&T Labs was founded by former public health officials, Jefferson McMillan-Wilhoit, a former health department CIO, and Juliana McMillan-Wilhoit. The team consists exclusively of former public health practitioners who have led health departments and managed programmes, bringing lived government experience to its work in local and state public health, healthcare, and the public sector.
