Description

Are you a student studying to become a healthcare professional? We need volunteers like you to help as a Health Promotion Clinical Volunteer!

Health Promotions uses interactive educational tools and displays, motivational literature and demonstrations to raise the awareness of Special Olympics athletes about the need to improve and maintain an enhanced level of wellness and self-care. Additionally, Health Promotion interviews athletes to assess their health habits, and conducts health screenings in three key areas: BMI - body mass index based on height and weight, BP - blood pressure, and BMD - bone mineral density. Health Promotion is by design fun, interactive, positive and engaging. In this environment, we help athletes learn how small changes in their behavior can help them improve and maintain good health and sports performance.

This event will take place in Spokane but the exact location is TBD.
