On Medicare? Check with your health insurance provider to see if you qualify for free YMCA classes

At the YMCA we seek to fulfill seniors needs as we help address food insecurity, exercise, general wellness with grant funded programs, scholarships, and the acceptance of insurance programs that cover your YMCA dues. As January brings health insurance renewals, now is the time to see if you qualify through Silver Sneakers, Silver and Fit or Renew Active.

The Raritan Valley YMCA (www.raritanvalleyymca.org) has teamed up with the Middlesex County Office of Aging & Disabled Services at 732-745-3295 to increase public awareness of services and opportunities for county seniors, the disabled, and their care givers.
