Diabetes Prevention Program

Located in Mc Kees Rocks, PA, the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program is dedicated to empowering adults to take charge of their health and prevent Type 2 Diabetes. In a supportive small-group setting, participants engage in transformative discussions around healthy eating, physical activity, and effective behavior changes, fostering not only weight loss but overall well-being. This fee-based program offers vital health and nutrition education, and it’s designed to be accessible to everyone, as you do not need to be a YMCA member to join. Classes are continually forming at various locations throughout the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh region, providing a valuable opportunity for community health improvement. Participants also gain access to select YMCA membership services, and many may find this program covered under their health insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare. Join us in our mission to reduce the risk of diabetes and enhance your quality of life through lasting healthy habits.
