Life Center YMCA, Prisma Health celebrate one-year partnership

The YMCA of Greenville and Prisma Health celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Life Center YMCA on Oct. 15.

The fitness and membership operations of Prisma Health’s Life Center on West Faris Road transitioned to the YMCA of Greenville in the fall of 2024. Prisma Health continues to manage the facility’s medical programs.

Janna John, executive director of Life Center YMCA, said the staff is proud of YMCA of Greenville’s longstanding partnership with Prisma Health and the remarkable impact made through the Life Center YMCA. 

“The mission of the YMCA, following the example of Christ, is to build healthy spirit, mind and body for all,” John said. “We accomplish this through strong partnerships with other health-based organizations that offer complementary services.”

The Life Center YMCA at Prisma Health offers more than 90 group exercise classes, personal training sessions, Lifestyle is Medicine seminars and cooking classes, swim lessons and a child care services. 

Prisma Health also offers a diabetes self-management program, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation program, and an oncology-rehabilitation program at the Life Center YMCA. Nearly 3,000 patients received care from one of the clinical programs over the past year. 

“Together, Prisma Health and the Life Center YMCA are helping people in our community to improve their health outcomes through programs that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and by helping those who have experienced these illnesses build back their strength and quality of life,” said Patricia Meyers, director of outpatient services at Prisma Health’s Greenville Memorial Campus.
