Senior citizens from the MetroWest community attended our annual Senior Health and Wellness Day at the Framingham Branch this week. They learned about our Y programs and met local community organizations.
Those in attendance included:
Vascular Care Center
Metropolitan Area Planning Council
Dia Feliz - Adult Day Health Center
Jewish Family Services of MetroWest
Callahan Center
ComForCare Home Health
Sunlight Care
MetroWest YMCA staff were on hand to talk about our nutrition and wellness programs, as well as our evidence-based health intervention programs that are offered for free on an ongoing basis. Currently, the Y is registering people for the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program and Livestrong at the Y for cancer survivors.
Jesse Potter, Director of Evidence-Based and Older Adult Programs shares, "At the Y, we care about multiple aspects of a person's well-being. Holding in-person events for our community like this is a great way to not only bring together health resources in one place but also connect people to each other."
