TO PUT CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY FOR ALL.

Healthy Living: The Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage healthy lifestyles, and provide programming that promote wellness, reduce risk for disease and help people reclaim their health. As a result, over 55,000 people in our community are receiving support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. In 2019, we continued to focus on Community Integrated Health in an effort to strengthen the linkages between traditional health care and community-based prevention strategies like our Diabetes Prevention Program, LiveStrong and Peddling for Parkinsons, in order to help individuals prevent, delay or live better with chronic conditions. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. In 2019, we provided $455,300 in financial assistance to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation. Healthy Living: YMCA health and well-being programs are designed to help people develop new skills and grow in spirit, mind and body. This is done by setting realistic goals for self-improvement and disease prevention through an active lifestyle, proper nutrition, stress management, and health education. We offer a lifelong progression of activities, experiences, and education in a welcoming environment where people can feel comfortable and receive the support they need to improve. People with disabilities and those with chronic ailments, such as Parkinson's Disease, arthritis, cancer, and heart disease will find YMCA programs that can meet their needs. In 2019, 2,600 families spent quality time together at the Y. Father/Child programs strengthen the bond and relationship between fathers and their sons and daughters. Group Exercise programs focus on increasing physical activity and our program variety has something for everyone. Mind-body classes such as Pilates, Yoga, and Tai Chi, allow for many physical benefits along with the mental benefits of self-renewal and stress management. Group Exercise formats such as Indoor Cycling, Aerobics, Boot Camp, Kickboxing, Step, Dance, and various muscle strength and endurance programs help improve both individual and community health. Personal Training provides individual support and guidance to members and participants to help them achieve their health and well-being goals. In 2019, 5,342 seniors participated in senior events and programs like our annual senior health fair, monthly Lunch-and-Learns, social luncheons, parties and day trips. Seniors are involved in volunteering for the Annual Support Campaign and serve on Branch Advisory Boards. Adult Sports like Basketball and Volleyball provide opportunities to connect with others and exercise. As well as offering group interest activities like support groups, knitting, Bible study and more. The Y is the place where our neighbors, families and friends can gather and connect with each other. We are the community hub where people can connect and feel like they belong regardless of their age, ethnicity or financial situation.
