Health & Wellness Registered Nurse
YMCA & Nuvance Health’s Healthy Living Partnership is here to support member’s healthy living journey:
Many things can affect the overall health of our community. The increasing numbers of individuals living with chronic diseases, mental health challenges, public health challenges, healthy aging, and the challenge to gain access to health care services are a few examples of the contributing factors to the overall health of the community.
In response to these community health care trends, the Riverbrook Regional YMCA and Norwalk Hospital, as part of Nuvance Health, have teamed up to create a community-based Healthy Living Partnership.
This community-based health initiative aims to synergize the organizations’ shared commitment to health promotion, chronic disease prevention, and the empowerment of individuals to make proactive lifestyle changes, with the ultimate goal of improving both individual and community health outcomes.
Through the Healthy Living Partnership, a Norwalk Hospital Registered Nurse, Ellen Ryan, BSN, MPH, RN, is available at the Wilton Family YMCA. In addition, the newly remodeled Norwalk Hospital Health & Wellness Suite is open. The Norwalk Hospital Health and Wellness Suite is located in the Bauer Family Foundation Healthy Living Wing at the YMCA.
