COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH PROGRAMS

At the Y, a supportive community is a big part of wellness. At every age and every level of activity, you’ll find people just like you looking to live a little bit healthier.

The YMCA of Greater Omaha’s Community-based Wellness Programs work towards providing solutions to improve quality of life for cancer survivors with LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, those with Parkinson’s with Brain & Body, and individuals looking to lose weight with Y Weight Loss.
