Y Health Programs
Y Health programs must have a doctor referral, meaning your doctor or health care provider must refer you to a specific YMCA evidence-based program.
YMCA memberships are required for all in-person Y Health programs. Y Health programs delivered virtually vary on YMCA membership requirements. Please inquire for more information.
You can purchase a YMCA membership at your local YMCA or online here. A YMCA membership gives you access to 19 locations around the Triangle, and financial assistance is available for those who qualify.
Health Insurance Benefits
Please get in touch with your insurance company to see if your benefits will pay for all or part of a YMCA membership and/or programs.
As Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina is a grant-providing partner agency, certain plans will pay for all or some of a YMCA membership.
