Helping The Community Thrive
The YMCA is a trusted place where the community comes together to improve their health, support young people, make new friends, and contribute to a stronger, more cohesive community for all. This is why the YMCA has seized the opportunity to work to address, manage, and prevent chronic conditions.

YMCA Center for Healthy Living
Founded in 2016 as part of the Harrisburg Area YMCA Association, the YMCA Center for Healthy Living operates out of the capital region and facilitates programs throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The center’s founding vision was to provide evidence- based health intervention programs to those living with or beyond chronic conditions. The center’s outreach has since expanded to include statewide initiatives, in partnership with the PA Department of Health and other community-based organizations, to service Pennsylvanians with a broader approach to resources.
The YMCA Center for Healthy Living works alongside other PA YMCA Associations to deliver programs and supplies to local communities. These programs are provided at little or no cost, which helps remove financial barriers to health intervention.
