Healthy Living Programs
Healthy Living Programs are low or no-cost evidence-based programs that help adults prevent the onset of chronic conditions or diseases. They can also help adults with chronic diseases learn how to manage and improve their health. Programs include interactive activities that promote healthy and active lifestyles and focus on common problems individuals may deal with every day. These programs aim to improve your quality of life while helping reduce healthcare costs by preventing or minimizing the effects of a disease.

Community Outreach and Involvement
SERVING ALL
True to our mission of putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all, each year the YMCA of Avery County, through our Community Outreach Programs, provides community members with YMCA memberships, delivers food boxes and meals to those in need and provides other essential services to those in our community!
