Keeping Athletes Healthy
As
part of our Healthy Athletes initiative, Special Olympics Florida
offers free screenings across eight different disciplines: Fit Feet,
FUNfitness (physical therapy), Healthy Hearing, Health Promotion,
Opening Eyes, Special Smiles, MedFest and Strong Minds. In 2023, we
conducted more than 10,600 screenings across the state.
Now, we’re excited to announce that, for the first time ever, the Healthy
Athletes team is conducting health screenings at Unified Champion
Schools. With more than 470 Unified Champion Schools throughout Florida,
this is a great opportunity to expand our reach and help our athletes
lead healthier lives!
