At Mount Carmel Health System in Columbus, Ohio, a one-of-a-kind center engages the community and provides free holistic health and wellness programs for everyone, especially those who are poor or underserved. Mount Carmel's von Zychlin Healthy Living Center (HLC) empowers each individual to embrace long-term health behavior changes in a safe, inclusive space, equipping community members with the tools they need to prevent or manage chronic medical conditions.

With the help of a $600,000 gift from PNC Bank, Mount Carmel founded HLC in 2013. Since that time, there have been over 50,000 visits to the center. Community members can choose from cooking and nutrition classes, fitness and exercise classes, pregnancy & parenting programs, and wellness and stress management classes. The HLC also offers Community Meetings, which provide a space for important conversations about improving the health of the community. Learn More
