The successful implementation of the program will result in the effective integration of public health practice in communities and community institutions to increase the quality, availability, and effectiveness of educational and community-based programs designed to prevent disease, improve health and quality of life, embrace diversity, connect people and resources, and create a sense of community.

For over 150 years, YMCAs have developed initiatives and programs that have helped improve the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual health for millions of Americans in diverse communities across the country. The health benefits from YMCA's health and wellness programs are a critical part of the nation's efforts to arrest the epidemic of chronic diseases.
Pioneering Healthier Communities is a key component of a broad YMCA initiative with the goal of improving the health and wellness of all Americans. Through this initiative, YMCAs will partner with community members to lead change in their communities by building coalitions and strategies to battle the epidemics of chronic disease and obesity, as well as the associated rise factors of physical inactivity and poor nutrition.
