Chronic Disease Management / Prevention
YOUR HEALTH. OUR MISSION.
At Franklin County’s Y, a supportive community is a big part of wellness. Our programs help educate the community about healthy habits to prevent chronic diseases from taking hold. The following programs allows us to help bridge the gap between clinical care and community care. The YMCA has the equipment and space to provide high-quality programs along with specified training that allows our staff to become experts in developing healthy habits.
The YMCA isn’t just a gym – it’s a place where people come together to become the best and healthiest version of themselves. We believe that we have an opportunity to improve our collective health by reducing our risk for chronic disease and transforming health and wellness as the primary weapon in our fight against disease.
