This is Y: Healthy Aging Programs

On today’s episode, we’re diving into how the First Coast YMCA supports healthy aging through its Active Older Adults classes and activities. We’re joined by three incredible guests—Connie Smith, Senior Director of Healthy Living; Kristin Plum, Healthy Aging Coordinator; and Michelle Downer, a dedicated Y member who has experienced the life-changing benefits of these classes and activities firsthand. We’ll explore how the YMCA tailors its programs to meet the needs of older adults, from cardio and strength training to social connection and mental well-being.
