It was a fun-filled weekend in Bran, Romania, with the first Healthy Young Athletes Pediatric Screening in Europe Eurasia taking place, supported by the Golisano Foundation. This event was a highlight of SO Romania's renowned Young Athletes Camp. Twenty children with intellectual disabilities were screened through five stations: physical exam, biometrics and vital station, developmental screener station, special smiles, and opening eyes. SO Romania's and SOEE's amazing staff, Clinical Directors, and Healthcare Professional Volunteers made this event a success. A Family Health Forum also took place with 22 family members, discussing the importance of general health care, ophthalmologist care, and dental care. To wrap up the weekend, we had a Young Athletes Demonstration led by Athlete Leader Andrei Cupsa, who guided the young participants with great enthusiasm. What a wonderful experience! #SpecialOlympics 📷SO Romania Special Olympics Special Olympics Romania Golisano Foundation
