Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Programs
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA
The YMCA of Youngstown is a provider of the nationally recognized LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA program thanks to an implementation grant from YMCA of the USA (Y-USA), the Y’s national resource office, in partnership with the LIVESTRONG® Foundation. The 12-week physical activity and well-being initiative helps people affected by cancer reach their holistic health goals. Additionally, programs like LIVESTRONG at the YMCA are part of the Y’s overall commitment to help cancer survivors recover in a safe and supportive environment.
We offer the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program at NO COST to participants. You can also send an email to Meri Fetkovich at mfetkovich@youngstownymca.org or call 330-742-4788. Want to donate to the cause? Donate now!
