Healthy Athletes - Health Promotion - 6/5/2026 1:00:00 PM
Description:
Health Promotion (nutrition, bone health, smoking cessation and sun safety) Health Promotion focuses on education athletes about healthy lifestyles and the facilitation of healthy choices. Because people with intellectual disabilities frequently have medical conditions such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes, and they tend to develop these conditions at earlier stages of life, Health Promotion mainly focuses on nutrition and exercise, as well as bone health, smoking cessation and sun safety using interactive educational activities and motivational information to encourage behavior change. Volunteers needed: RD, CHES, RN, MD, DO, PA, NP and more.
