The YMCA of Greater Kansas City is looking forward to being able to help more people at risk of developing diabetes, thanks to a $35,000 grant from Sun Life Financial.

The funds will continue to support the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program in the greater Kansas City area. Sun Life has supported the program since it launched in Kansas City in 2014. The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is shown to reduce the burden of type 2 diabetes – one of the nation’s costliest chronic diseases.
