2016 Golisano Health Leadership Award Special Olympics Belgium Overview of the Golisano Health Leadership Award:
The Golisano Health Leadership Awards
recognize health champions - leaders and organizations - that are making a significant contribution to equal access to health,
fitness and/or wellness for people with intellectual disabilities. The awards will also promote awareness for the progress
and extraordinary efforts toward fulfilling the goals, values, and mission of Special Olympics health program. This is the
highest Special Olympics honor for health partners.
There are four primary goals for this new internal award
system, which include: 1. Recognize those who are making a significant contribution to increasing access to inclusive
health, fitness and/or wellness in the communities in which people with intellectual disabilities live. 2. Raise overall awareness
of the issues of health disparities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities. 3. Inspire, motivate and recognize
stakeholders, while engaging the broader health-focused Special Olympics audience to seek to replicate areas of success and
key initiatives and partnerships. 4. Create a prestigious health award program made possible by Tom Golisano and the Golisano
Foundation with Special Olympics that honors the organizations’ commitment to equitable health services for people with
intellectual disabilities.
