Healthy Living Center

As a lifelong active and athletic individual, Lois has always understood the importance of exercise and staying engaged. Like many young parents, her journey began with involvement in her children's activities, fostering a love for community and healthy living.

When she became her mother's caregiver, Lois’s focus shifted to understanding the needs of Active Older Adults. Viewing the world through her mother’s eyes gave her valuable insights into the physical, social, and emotional priorities of seniors.

After relocating to Council Bluffs over 15 years ago, Lois began working at the Senior Center, which later merged with the YMCA four years ago. This partnership has expanded our offerings, enabling us to provide a wide range of physical activities and social programs that promote health, connection, and vitality for our active older adults.

At HLC, our mission is to create a “home away from home,” a welcoming space where every individual feels supported and inspired to live their best life.
