We present our health partners with a Golisano Health Leadership Award

On Friday 19 May, Special Olympics Ireland had the pleasure of presenting some of our fantastic health partners with a Golisano Health Leadership award. Congratulations to Mental Health Ireland, safefood and University College Cork Audiology Department! 

 

The award recognises outstanding individuals or organisations who are dedicated to improving the health of people with intellectual disabilities and advancing the health of Special Olympics athletes. The award also promotes awareness of the progress and extraordinary efforts toward fulfilling the goals, values and mission of Special Olympics Health work.  

The Health Leadership Awards give Special Olympics Ireland the opportunity to acknowledge the great health work that is taking place throughout the island of Ireland at a local community level.   

Thank you to the Golisano Foundation and Special Olympics for recognising the incredible work of our health partners as they support our mission of #InclusiveHealth  

Each of these health partners have significantly contributed to improving the health of Special Olympics athletes through various projects and initiatives. To learn more about these fantastic, life changing projects click the links below:
