Be Healthy Berrien is a true community-wide collaboration, led by a dedicated Steering Committee of partner organizations. These partners have come together to build a shared vision to work together in building a healthier community.
YMCA of Greater Michiana is a founding member of the Be Healthy Berrien partnership, first as two separate organizations—the Benton Harbor–St. Joseph YMCA and the Niles–Buchanan YMCA—and now as one unified association. Monica Norton, Senior Healthy Living Director at the YMCA of Greater Michiana, is a new member of the Be Healthy Berrien Steering Committee, where she contributes to guiding the partnership’s vision and community impact.
In her role, Monica brings a fresh perspective and a strong commitment to program integration and advocacy, working to align Be Healthy Berrien’s goals with the YMCA’s everyday work. Her collaborative approach helps strengthen partnerships, elevate community voices, and advance shared efforts to build healthier, more connected communities across Berrien County.
