Healthy Athletes is dedicated to providing comprehensive health screenings and education to Special Olympics athletes, while also transforming the way health professionals engage with individuals with intellectual disabilities. The initiative not only addresses unmet health needs through a series of targeted screenings but also raises awareness within the medical community about the unique challenges faced by this population. By fostering inclusion, education, and advocacy, Healthy Athletes works to improve access to quality care, reduce health disparities, and empower athletes to achieve their best in both sports and daily life.
