Megan Vermeer

Megan Vermeer currently serves as the YMCA’s director of health innovations and corporate relations. She has worked for the YMCA for over 10 years. She is responsible for developing and implementing all chronic disease programs for the association, as well as strengthening relationships with hospitals and community partners. These programs assist populations with diabetes and pre-diabetes, Parkinson’s, dementia, blood pressure management and nutrition. She holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a passion in public health and wellness from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. She learned quickly in her career that while exercise is medicine, you can't out run your fork. She is passionate and energetic about giving folks the tools to use food as medicine to FIGHT disease rather than fuel it!
