“We provided community programs free to the community to enhance healthy living. These include ymca healthy kids day, offered at our two locations, which attracted over 600 participants. In the summer we conducted our annual kick start douglas county, 100 days of healthy activities such as zumba in the park, walking groups, tai chi, community swimming, and yoga for over 3,000 people of all ages and abilities free or nearly free of cost. Nearly 100 adults participated in our first annual health expo, a free series of workshops and speakers on healthy lifestyle choices in nutrition and wellness. With grant funding we increased our capacity to offer enhance fitness, an evidence based group exercise program for older adults that uses simple, easy to learn movements that motivate individuals, particularly those with arthritis, to stay active throughout their life. Ymca staff regularly work with community partners to provide blood pressure screenings, parenting education and health fairs. With the support of the douglas county aging and disability resources network and architrave health, the ymca has developed effective, sustainable strategies to promote healthy lifestyles throughout the county for people living with chronic diseases such as arthritis and parkinson's disease and inactive individuals with low incomes on the oregon health plan.”
