YMCA: Preventing and controlling chronic disease locally - part 2
Submitted
Editors note: This is part two of a three-part series from the Marion Family YMCA about preventing and controlling chronic disease locally.
In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. Over the past decade, the Y has driven innovation in prevention and control of chronic disease to save lives and reduce healthcare spending. Y’s are offering individuals the tools needed to achieve greater health and well-being and positioning our health system to save money and support their patients. 
Arthritis
Arthritis is common, expensive and a leading cause of disability. Over half of adults age 65 and older experience arthritis, and two out of every three obese people suffer from it as well. A person living with arthritis spends more than $2,000 annually on health-related costs and nearly half experience physical limitations (cdc.gov).
