Turning “Eat Better” Into Action | YMCA of KC x University Health

Our Partnership with University Health

Through community health needs assessments with University Health, the YMCA identified three key priorities: mental and behavioral health, social drivers of health, and chronic disease prevention. This episode focuses on prevention, turning it into practical, everyday action.

Our goal is simple: listen to community needs and connect people with tools and support that reduce chronic disease risk over time — whether through movement, stress support, connection, or small, healthy changes in the kitchen.
