New Health and Wellness Center at GCBGC

Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club now has a dedicated Health and Wellness Center at the Club thanks to the generous support of NYU Winthrop Hospital. The new center will enable the Club to expand its focus and development of vital Health and Wellness services for youth and teens.

The Club’s Health and Life Skills programs encourage members to participate in daily physical activity, take charge of their own nutritional well-being and engage in productive social interaction to forge positive relationships with friends and staff. A dedicated space specifically designed for these programs will enable the Club to fully develop young people’s capacity to engage in positive behaviors, nurture their own well-being, set personal goals and grow into self-sufficient adults. “Our goal is to nurture our members’ overall well-being and to encourage them to make sound choices and adopt and implement positive behaviors that they will continue to follow and maintain throughout their lives. We are truly grateful to NYU Winthrop Hospital for investing in our Club. The new Center really helps us to empower our kids to take charge of their health and wellness,” said Franca Trunzo, GCBGC Executive Director.

“NYU Winthrop Hospital strives daily to have a positive impact on our community. By joining with Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club on their new Health and Wellness Center, we are ensuring young people get started early on good, healthy habits. At NYU Winthrop, our communities are our family, and we are proud to support organizations who keep them educated, healthy, and happy,” said John F. Collins, President and CEO.

The new Center offers a serene atmosphere where Health and Life Skills programs are held and also offers youth a space to retreat to for peace, quiet, solace and comfort. This dedicated Center, geared to mindfulness and balanced living, is the ideal location for the Club’s well-rounded, carefully crafted and nationally corroborated programs designed to bring about dramatic and measurable changes in the lives of our members.
