Advisory Council

Growing Stronger Together

In 2014, the Morris Community YMCA and Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers announced the formation of a partnership to enhance the health and wellness of Grundy County residents. In 2015, these two organizations came together to open and operate the new temporary Morris Community YMCA. Located in downtown Morris in the former City Hall, this new facility officially opened to the public on January 5, 2015.

Since opening its doors on Wauponsee Street, the Y and Morris Hospital have collaborated to offer a wide variety of programming in the temporary facility, including group exercise classes, youth enrichment and teen programs, senior wellness programs, child watch services, and a number of medically-based fitness programs and community wellness initiatives.

To further grow its impact in the community, the Y is so excited to launch our new full-facility in partnership with Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers.

Through this unique collaboration, the Y and Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers will work to create new and innovative programs that will have a long-lasting impact on the health and wellness of Grundy County residents for generations to come.
