The Northwest Ohio Pathways HUB launched in 2007 to initially combat infant mortality in Lucas County. Low-income pregnant women continue to be connected to the medical and social services they need to have full-term, healthy weight babies.
In 2015 the Pathways HUB expanded to address diabetes, heart disease and other chronic conditions in Lucas County through a three-year Partnerships to Improve Community Health grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Additional expansions have followed throughout Northwest Ohio, including establishing Pathways HUB agencies in Allen, Erie, Henry, Ottawa, and Wood counties.
In 2021 The Pathways HUB’s Keystone Fund was created by an anonymous $15,000 challenge gift that was matched. The fund provides up to $500 each to clients who have financial barriers to securing stable housing, helping them pay for deposits and other expenses that are often out of reach.

Currently, the Pathways HUB collaborates with local partners and community health workers to enhance health outcomes, promote healthy births, and enable connections to health and social services to adults, pregnant women, and children throughout Northwest Ohio.
