Y Health Membership Referrals
Y Health memberships must have a doctor referral, meaning your doctor or health care provider must refer you to a specific YMCA evidence-based program or Y Health membership type.
However, if you have already had your annual wellness visit for the year, or you know you have a condition that could benefit from a Y Health membership, you can download a self-referral form and send it in for your doctor or healthcare provider's approval.
Y Health memberships last the duration of your prescribed, evidence-based program. You can be prescribed more than one program. If you are a current YMCA member, our staff can transfer your membership for the duration of your program. Financial Assistance is available for self-pay Y Health memberships.
