SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES CAN EXPLORE A WORLD OF CAPTIVATING HEALTH RESOURCES WITH MYHEALTH
Special Olympics just announced the launch of MyHealth – an online hub for health education resources geared towards Special Olympics athletes and other people with intellectual disabilities.
MyHealth – an online hub for health education resources geared towards Special Olympics athletes and other people with intellectual disabilities.
MyHealth offers fun and interactive pages that allow users to learn more about their health at their own pace. For example, people with intellectual disabilities can learn how to identify the signs of stress, dehydration, common dental problems, and much more.
Education and awareness of personal health can be key when identifying and treating health issues that could otherwise be overlooked. This is especially important because people with intellectual disabilities experience greater health disparities and are much more likely to have unidentified and untreated health issues, causing their average lifespan to be reduced by 16-20 years.
HEALTHY OUTLOOK: Starting from the MyHealth homepage, visitors can explore Special Olympics Healthy Athletes programs such as Special Smiles, Healthy Hearing, Fun Fitness and much more.
Check out MyHealth online, built with support from Special Olympics long standing partner JD Finish Line today at SpecialOlympics.org/MyHealth. More resources will be continuously added to this online space.
