How to apply for Disease Prevention & Wellness Programs in Virginia

Who it's for

Where to apply

Step by step

1. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging to find out which wellness programs are currently available in your area.
2. Ask about specific offerings such as exercise classes, fall prevention programs, or disease management support.
3. Follow the instructions your local Area Agency on Aging gives you to sign up — programs may be available to join online.
4. Complete any enrollment steps the local agency requires to secure your spot in a program.

What to expect: After you reach out, your local Area Agency on Aging will let you know what programs are running near you and how to get started. Because each local agency sets its own schedule and offerings, availability varies across Virginia — a program offered in one area may not be available in another. No fee or income test is published for this category of programs. If you enroll, ask your local agency whether the program requires any renewal or re-enrollment steps so you do not lose your spot.
