HEALTHY AGING PROGRAM
Today’s 55+ adults are more health-conscious than ever before. The Y offers opportunities to maintain a healthy lifestyle and healthy relationships. Exercise programs, both in and out of the water, pickleball, speakers, trips, and volunteer opportunities are available. Our goal is to promote well-being while fostering friendship and camaraderie.
Get together with friends and make new ones every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. and Thursday at 10:30am for coffee and an activity!
