About
Health Promotion Special Olympics
Health Promotion, a discipline of Special Olympics Healthy Athletes, focuses on healthy living, healthy lifestyle choices, and nation-specific health issues. In addition to health education activities, health Promotion offers screenings for bone density, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI). Its goals include encouraging and enhancing healthy behaviors and improving self-efficacy and self-advocacy.
Health Promotion screenings will take place from 9:00am-1:00pm at 20200 Johnson Dr, Shawnee KS 66218 inside of Okun fieldhouse on the first volleyball court on the right. We ask that volunteers arrive no later than 8am to begin training prior to the screening.
Catered lunches will be provided for ALL general and clinical volunteers on the day of the screening. Your clinical director will release you for your lunch break once the lunches arrive (around 11:30am-12:00pm).
If you have any questions regarding the event, please email our Health Programs Coordinator, Svea Knight, at knights@soks.org
