Community Health Programs
Our community's health struggles are well chronicled with the rise of obesity, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer and other life-altering conditions. The Y, in partnership with Novant Health, is dedicated to helping people understand their risks and providing the support they need to fight chronic disease, improve mobility and lead healthier lives. Through our community health programs, the YMCA of Southeastern North Carolina is committed to changing the outcome for people facing significant health challenges and improving quality of life for our whole community.
By donating to our Community Health programs you have the ability to slow the rise in chronic disease one person at a time and help support those already impacted. Donating helps you become part of the solution to a community-wide/world-wide problem. Give back to the community today by clicking the button below:
