What is Healthy Athletes

Since 1979, Special Olympics has offered free health screening and education to all of our athletes through the Healthy Athletes program. These health screenings include:

• MedFest (History and Physical Exam)
• Special Olympics Lions Clubs International Foundation Opening Eyes^® (Vision/Eye Health)
• Healthy Hearing (Audiology)
• Special Smiles (Dentistry)
• Health Promotion (Prevention and Nutrition)
• Strong Minds (Emotional Health)
• FUNfitness (Physical Therapy)
• Fit Feet (Podiatry)

Through the Healthy Athletes program, we have discovered many undetected health problems or concerns within the Special Olympics community and have provided the proper resources.
