In the workplace, without  health, one cannot be productive. In school, without health, one cannot achieve.  In sport, without health, one cannot perform. Correcting an athlete’s vision,  for example, directly impacts his or her ability to compete in sports and participate in meaningful social interactions. 
For these reasons,  Special Olympics Health has continually expanded its offerings and endeavors to: 
  • Improve  access and health care for Special Olympics athletes through free  health-screening clinics
  • Provide appropriate referrals to local health care providers.
  • Train  health care professionals and health professions students about the needs and  care of people with intellectual disabilities.
  • Collect,  analyze and disseminate data on the health status and needs of people with  intellectual disabilities.
  • Advocate  for improved health care policies and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.
  • Conduct  research and evaluation activities that help define challenges, document program  impact and seek better solutions.
