Henry Schein Extends Partnership with Special Olympics Through 2025, Promoting Wellness and Health Education for Athletes with Intellectual Disabilities Around the World - Seite 2

Since its inception in 1997, the Healthy Athletes program has delivered over two million free health screenings and trained over 300,000 health care professionals, clinical volunteers, and students in using adapted screening protocols and in communicating effectively with people with intellectual disabilities. These trainings also aid in building the health care community’s capacity to serve the needs of people with intellectual disabilities outside of Special Olympics events, as providers take these skills back to their practices and provide higher quality health care to people with intellectual disabilities – not just Special Olympic athletes – in their communities.

“The collaboration between Henry Schein and Special Olympics has already strengthened our ability to provide the high-quality health screenings that our athletes deserve,” said Annemarie Hill, Special Olympics Senior Vice President, Global Health Operations. “We are pleased to continue the relationship with Henry Schein, reinforcing our shared belief that all people deserve quality health care, regardless of their differences.”

The donations to Special Olympics Healthy Athletes are an initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the Company’s global corporate social responsibility program.
