A NEW Y FOR SENIORS & ADULTS FOCUSING ON HEALTH & WELLNESS

Enid YMCA Announces Winter Branch: The Y on Willow

Enid, OK — The YMCA of Enid is excited to announce plans for The Y on Willow (Winter
Branch), a new health and wellness facility dedicated to serving seniors and adults. This new branch will be a vibrant hub of community, health, and connection—designed to support longevity, vitality, and inclusion for all.

At its heart, The Y on Willow will bring people together. Adults and seniors—who might never cross paths in schools, workplaces, or houses of worship—will find common ground, friendship, and wellness at the Y. The initiative reflects a bold vision to transform lives and neighborhoods through expanded health programs, community services, and collaborative outreach.

In partnership with RSVP of Enid, Enid Public Schools, and various private and public
organizations
, this project will address the growing and evolving needs of our aging population while continuing to serve adults and families with purpose-driven programs that enrich lives.

Our community faces some of the most significant health challenges in the state.” said Greg Shamburg, CEO of the Denny Price Family YMCA. “This new facility represents more than bricks and mortar—it’s an investment in hope, health, and a stronger community for generations to come.” The new Health and Wellness Center will feature:

Modern amenities and fitness equipment
Improved accessibility for all users
Flexible, multi-use program space
Share facilities that support partnerships and community services
Expanded feeding programs and wraparound support through local agency
collaboration.


With the generous support of the Winter Family and other private donors, the YMCA has
launched a $3 million capital campaign to bring this vision to life. Community support is
essential to making this transformative project a reality.

The YMCA is more than a gym. It’s a place where health, development, community, and adventure converge—where critical needs in Northwest Oklahoma are met through strategic programs, innovative services, and meaningful human connection.
