MGH and YMCA Partner to Compile Get Healthy Resource Guide

Marion Health is once again partnering with the YMCA to promote healthy living and exercise in Grant County.

We are always looking for ways to enhance your health, as well as your every day life, and welcome the opportunity to provide a resource guide aimed at improving the health of our community and help you keep moving.

This guide will provide information and support in three (3) categories: Exercise, nutrition and weight management. It will include maps with mile markers of indoor and outdoor facilities, healthy tips, support groups, walks and runs; and encourage individuals to take advantage of the many beautiful areas in our community such as the Cardinal Greenway, River Walk, Matter Park, bike trails, and walk ways.

Marion Health and the YMCA are committed to raising awareness and effectively having an impact on a person’s health and well-being. Whether it is walking to the mailbox or a 5K run, exploring new fitness opportunities is healthy.

We are collecting information to publish an all inclusive guide for residents looking for support to improve their health. If you have a support group, walk, run or event that you would like to include, please send the date of the event, the location, contact name, phone number, and website if available. Materials are due by May 29th.

Please send your information to Robert Giglio, Program Director at the YMCA, by email at robertg@grantcountyymca.org. For specific details, he can be reached at 765-664-0544.
