Secretary Walker joined leaders of the YMCA of Delaware, EPIC (Endless Possibilities for People in the Community) and Christiana Care Health System this week to hear about and see an inclusive program at the Bear-Glasgow YMCA for people with disabilities that supports them in improving their fitness and social skills.
About 15 clients of EPIC, along with fitness and nutrition trainers, participate in the program weekly or multiple times a week. Participants are losing weight, improving their blood pressure and heart rates, learning about healthy eating and increasing mobility or strength. “We feel the community is open to everybody,” said Jack Jadach, executive director of EPIC. Clients improve not only their fitness skills, but also such social skills as checking in when they arrive, wiping off equipment when they are finished and talking with others working out, Jadach said.
As part of its movement toward inclusion, the YMCA provides space, adaptive equipment and free memberships for EPIC clients, said Jim Kelly, chief operating office for the YMCA of Delaware. Besides Bear-Glasgow, the Y now has adaptive equipment in its Dover, Western and Brandywine branches. “We want to make all of our branches accessible,” Kelly said, and promote inclusion for people with disabilities. Besides adaptive equipment, the Y has installed harnesses that drop down from the ceiling, so people with mobility or balance issues can be secure whether they are on a treadmill or participating in a group exercise activity such as Zumba.
What’s next? Terry Mullan, executive director of the 25,000-member Bear-Glasgow Y, said she would like to add a warm water pool (90 degrees or higher) for people with special needs, individuals in wheelchairs, seniors and families. At EPIC, Jadach said he would like to expand the nonprofit’s fitness program to other Y’s.
Secretary Walker praised what the initiative as a way to reduce health inequities for people with disabilities and help them to achieve their optimal health, while also promoting inclusion. Jennifer, one of EPIC’s clients, said she likes the way her clothes fit now after losing 10 pounds. And Johnny likes working out on the treadmill and swimming.
