“I am thrilled to be able to offer the Yes2Health program to our community. It can be so difficult to stay on track while developing healthy habits, and it’s much easier with a supportive community and an easy-to-follow plan. Taking small steps every day to improve your health can make a huge impact, including reduced risks of chronic diseases. Anyone looking to make strides on their health and wellness journey in 2025 should take advantage of this free program. With four different classes available, including one in Spanish, we’re excited to create opportunities for all community members to live healthier lives,” shared Connie Holdridge, DBCC Director of Survivorship.
