Community Health
The YMCA of Greater Erie has always been dedicated to its mission of helping and enriching our community and ALL those who live in it. One way we accomplish this is by providing our members opportunities to prioritize their health and wellness. Through seminars, in-house events, and even partnerships with community organizations, we want to make our community a better, happier, and healthier one.

- People who have lost blood because of a gastrointestinal bleed
- Women who have serious complications during pregnancy or childbirth
- People with cancer or severe anemia, sometimes caused by thalassemia or sickle cell disease
