A Partnership for Community

Lots of people ask if we are a YMCA or if we are Sanford Health. The answer is Yes! Sanford Health and the YMCA of the Northern Sky partnered to bring a wellness facility, like none other, to the Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and area communities. Family Wellness combines the values of the region’s most recognized family fitness organization with the region’s largest health care system. Together, these organizations share the gift of wellness. Family Wellness offers the resources to inspire the best in each of us a place to share our experiences with others. When we share, a community mindset flourishes. It’s a cycle, a lifestyle and a better way of being.

We learn from the experience from the YMCA’s rich 125+ year history in our community, and work along side them in helping impact community health through innovative programs, services, and facilities. Our partnership with Sanford Health allows us to tap into the medical community as we work to reduce lifestyle related illness tomorrow by inspiring healthy lifestyles today. We are proud to serve our community alongside our two partner organizations, and look forward to impacting our community together for years to come.

Togetherness = Wellness

Wellness is a lifestyle. It’s a lifelong journey of improving our mind, body, spirit and community. Family Wellness combines the missions of Sanford Health and the YMCA of the Northern Sky to actualize a vision where health and healing connect with people, programs and facilities. True wellness consists of seven unique pillars that must move in tandem to achieve success. Family Wellness does its part to combine these elements in one place. Because when we commit to a life of wellness, we are able to unlock the potential within and inspire others to find their own inner strength. In short, togetherness is wellness. Our mission is to inspire healthy lifestyles by connecting people in a fun environment.
