Our Vision:
Year after year, Pioneering a Healthier Marshall, with public and private partners, will lead the development of a flourishing Marshall Community - Spiritually, Physically and Mentally.

Pioneering a Healthier Marshall is part of a national effort by the YMCA of the USA and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention to develop grass-roots efforts to reverse poor health trends in America. The Marshall coalition leadership team consists of local business and community leaders, Theresa Lubke and Matt Schneringer (Marshall Area YMCA), Klint Willert (Marshall Public Schools), Mayor Bob Byrnes, Lois Schmidt (Bremer), Nikki Enersen (Iftiin), Mary Maertens, (Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center), Pastor Jim Crecelius, Cynthia Maxwell-Talbert (LLMP Public Health), Kelli Thielges (The Schwan Food Company) and Gail Goltz (Western Community Action).

Our Mission

Pioneering a Healthier Marshall supports the development of a healthier community environment by encouraging balanced lifestyles including improving health, embracing diversity, and increasing the activity of the citizenry which will lead to Marshall, MN being a community of choice with a thriving economy.
