Y Aims to Combat Diabetes



The Tuscarawas County YMCA is looking to help educate area residents about Diabetes.
 
Health and Fitness Director Brandi Hibbs says the Y is providing two opportunities to enroll in their Diabetes Prevention, Self-Management and Support program through a grant from the United Way of Tuscarawas County.
 
 
According to the Ohio Department of Health, more than 10 percent of adults have been diagnosed with diabetes. 
 
Hibbs says there is definitely a need in the community for this type of program.
 
 
Hibbs says the overall goal of the program is to promote a healthy lifestyle.
 
 
The program will begin on Tuesday, April 23rd at 5:30 PM or Wednesday, April 24th at 7:00 PM. 
 
To learn more, please call the Y at 330-364-5511 or email Brandi Hibbs at brandi@tuscymca.org.
