At the Y, we enhance the quality of life in our community by helping individual, kids and families improve their health and well-being. With a focus on prevention, we give people the resources and support they need, whether their goal is to maintain wellness, reduce the risk of chronic disease or reclaim good health.

Critical Social Issues Affecting Our Communities

• High rates of chronic disease and obesity (child and adult)
• Needs associated with an aging population
• Health inequities among people of different backgrounds

Our Shared Intent

To improve lifestyle health and health outcomes in the U.S., the Y will help lead the transformation of health and health care from a system largely focused on treatment of illnesses to a collaborative community approach that elevates well-being, prevention, and health maintenance.
