In 2024, our wellness and prevention programs reached more than 900 individuals directly through initiatives such as diabetes prevention, blood pressure self-monitoring, enhancefitness, livestrong at the y cancer support and recovery and parkinson's disease programming.

Our work extends beyond physical health, focusing on community connection, access to care, and mental wellness to create healthier lives for all.
