Healthy Living We're committed to improving the health and well-being of our community because we believe a community is strongest when everyone in it has the opportunity to live healthier in all areas of life-spirit, mind and body. Unfortunately, too many people in our community are suffering from a health and obesity crisis that is causing unnecessary harm and costing our state billions of dollars in preventable health care costs. Research shows that by investing in the health of our neighbors now, we can stop illnesses before they start, and the savings quickly add up in our community through: * Improved quality of life * Fewer illnesses * Increased school performance * Healthy aging * A better workforce How? We're committed to providing community-based health solutions that offer everyone, regardless of age, income or background, the opportunity to improve their health and well-being. Our Strategies: Prevention As a leading provider of holistic health and wellness services in our community, we help individuals and families practice the healthy lifestyle habits that have been proven to prevent illnesses ranging from diabetes and stroke to heart disease and many forms of cancer. In addition, we work outside the walls of our facilities to engage in community partners and leaders in all areas of government to advocate for policies and programs that can make the healthy choice the easier choice for everyone in our community. Assisting Targeted Health Populations Some people need more help with their health than others. That's why we provide support groups and other programs focused on serving the physical, mental and spiritual needs of targeted health populations ranging from people with cancer or diabetes to individuals fighting addiction or depression. We're also partnering with local hospitals and other health providers to offer medically-based services including physical therapy, nutrition education and cardiac rehabilitation. Eliminating Health Disparities Studies show that individuals with the lowest incomes are 44% more likely to become obese compared to households with higher incomes. In addition, some minority groups or people living in certain under-served communities have much higher rates of obesity as well as other painful and debilitating health conditions. Through its financial assistance programs and commitment to maintaining a presence in all parts of our community, we address these health disparities and eliminate the link between an individual's socioeconomic status and their health. Our 2019 Impact: * Improved the health of more than 182,000 members * Improved the physical and social well-being of thousands of participants in nearly 1,840 YMCA weekly group fitness classes taught by 685 instructors throughout middle Tennessee. * Eliminated health disparities by offering financial assistance to over 1 in 5 YMCA members in more than 38,000 individuals through our Open Doors Program.
