In Greenville, the Hodding Carter Memorial YMCA is set to launch an important initiative to combat Type 2 diabetes. Starting in August 2023, the YMCA will be hosting a program specifically designed to prevent the onset of this chronic condition. The program’s primary focus will be to encourage increased physical activity and promote weight loss among participants.
The Prevent Type 2 Diabetes Program seeks to address the growing concern over the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in the region. By promoting a healthier lifestyle, the program aims to reduce the risk factors associated with the disease, ultimately improving the community’s overall well-being.
Individuals interested in participating in this life-changing program are encouraged to contact the YMCA directly. To sign up, contact the Hodding Carter Memorial YMCA at 662-335-7258. The program is made possible through a collaborative effort with the Mississippi Department of Health, highlighting the commitment of both organizations to prioritize public health and tackle the diabetes crisis head-on.
