Welcome to the Phifer Family YMCA
More programming. More locations. More ways to improve your health and wellness.
WELCOME TO THE NEW PHIFER FAMILY YMCA!
UNC Health Blue Ridge and the YMCA of Catawba Valley are joining forces through an innovative partnership that will benefit members of Phifer Wellness Center, the YMCA and our entire community.
Beginning Nov. 1, the YMCA will assume management of the Phifer Wellness Center in Morganton, NC, which will be renamed the Phifer Family YMCA. UNC Health Blue Ridge will remain the exclusive healthcare partner for the Phifer Family YMCA. Through this new partnership, current members of Phifer Wellness Center can take advantage of enhanced access to a variety of health and wellness services and programming. In addition, our entire region will benefit through new opportunities for the YMCA and UNC Health Blue Ridge, two of the community’s leading health and wellness advocates, to work together on a range of issues from childhood obesity to cancer survivorship.
