YMCA of the Triangle

Love the great work the Y is doing to support healthy living in our region. Let's go!

On November 4, the YMCA of the Triangle and North Carolina Alliance of YMCAs, Inc. hosted a Health Innovations Roundtable at the Southeast Raleigh YMCA. We welcomed Dr. Mandy Cohen of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Suzanne McCormick, CEO of the YMCA of the USA and other key community and healthcare leaders. During this time we shared updates on Y Health, a program we launched 4 years ago to address health-related social issues in our community. We’re grateful to everyone who attended and excited about the results of this program and future growth. #YMCA #YHealth #BeCauseY #HealthyLiving #Community #CommunitySupport #ForABetterUs

In this season of gratitude, we want to express our thanks to Truist and the Truist Foundation for their incredible generosity! Truist's gift to the YMCA Power Scholars program will advance academic achievement for local students and further the Y's mission to support education and champion youth development in our community. #buildingcommunities #weallbelong #ymca #makeadifference

What an incredibly exciting day! Through our Case Management Team, the YMCA is a direct referral partner with Wheels 4 Hope, a wonderful organization that repairs donated cars and gives them to qualifying recipients for greatly reduced rates. Today we were VERY excited to see our first client ever receive a car from them! With these great partnerships and the hard work of our team, we're honored to be able to leverage our connection to this generous community to support our friends and neighbors. #community #YMCA #CommunitySupport #GiveBack #ForaBetterUs #BeCauseY #Wheels4Hope #CaseManagement #RaleighNonProfits #TriangleNonProfits

What an extraordinary display of community and collaboration! Our team at the Y co-hosted a health innovations roundtable with our friends at the North Carolina Alliance of YMCAs, Inc. today at the Southeast Raleigh YMCA, welcoming national, state and local health leaders for what we hope is the first of many collaborative discussions. Many thanks to our panelists: Dr. Mandy Cohen, Christina Colgan, Kody Kinsley, Suzanne McCormick, Wiley Nickel, Susan Pettengill, Deborah Ross, Dr. Elizabeth Tilson, Sherée Thaxton Vodicka and Dr. Gloria Winters. The innovative work of the YMCA of the Triangle and our Y Health program, in collaboration with Blue Cross NC, is a model for putting the community in community health.
