Around the country, the Y is often referred to as a “gym and swim.”But there’s so much more to our Y than folks realize. From exercise to mental well-being, from gymnastics class to teen leadership, from preschool to preventive health, the Y doesn’t.
During the upcoming month, members, directors, employees, and friends of Franklin County’s YMCA will be reaching out to area residents for financial donations to continue the great work our Y does.My family and I have been members of Franklin County’s.

Quabbin Valley Healthcare in Athol was one of the first nursing homes in Worcester County to conduct a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for its residents and staff with CVS/Omnicare pharmacy, Assistant Administrator Michael Kachadoorian said.
“Nursing homes across the state have been paired with a pharmacy CVS or Walgreens and back in the fall when this program was announced, QVH signed up for it immediately,” he said. “We were notified of our clinic date of Dec. 28 just before the Christmas holiday.”
