The Hutchinson YMCA is preparing to launch a new program in 2012. Kirby List, Executive Director of the YMCA says the new corporate wellness program will be introduced sometime next year

List says the new program will benefit both the the community’s health as a whole, and the “Y” in terms of membership.

While health has always been important, List says the program is being driven by different circumstances, and that’s the ever increasing cost of healthcare, and the need to take a more proactive approach to better health.

No time table for kicking off the program was given.
