About Us

The YMCA Healthy Living Center (Y-HLC) is a partnership between the YMCA of Greater Des Moines and Mercy Medical Center. Located in Clive, Iowa, the HLC brings a new approach to health, healing, and healthy living to our community. Utilizing a "medically integrated" approach, the HLC brings together the experience and expertise of both medical and fitness professionals to more effectively impact a person's health and well-being.

Programs are approved by a medical advisory committee made up of local physicians from a variety of disciplines. From strategic health planning to coordinated care management and personalized fitness plans, the HLC provides services for almost everyone. Whether an individual is undergoing treatment or recovering from an illness or injury, or is striving to improve his or her sports performance, the HLC staff and medical partners are here to provide assistance and support through a wide array of programs and services.
