Description

You’re invited to attend the 2023 YMCA Community Health Summit as we share our commitment through programs, services, and relationships to make the communities we serve healthier. In 2023, the YMCA will (re)launch a variety of chronic disease prevention and management programs that use a combination of classroom settings, peer support, and physical activity to provide patients with the support they need to adopt the behaviors you recommend to improve their health. The YMCA aims to improve our nation's health by providing programs and activities that promote overall well-being, no matter where you are on your journey toward better health. And when people feel their best and have fulfilling lifestyles, their communities become stronger, too. As a community-facing organization, the Y’s mission has long focused on helping people to live their healthiest lives and reach their full potential in mind, body, and spirit. We acknowledge that individual “health” is influenced by a range of environmental, social, and biological factors, many of which cannot be adequately addressed solely in the clinic. At the Y, we believe that community-based organizations focused on long-term relationship building and peer support are essential to successfully supporting individuals through their health journey. We can extend the goals and values of clinical care into community settings—reaching more people with long-term, face-to-face support—when places like the Y and local healthcare systems work together. We are excited to share the investment the YMCA is making in our communities health, and develop relationships to empower people to change their lives for the better.
