BE.WELL PROGRAM

WITH CINCINNATI CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

This partnership with Children's Hospital makes parks the prescription.

Children with physical disabilities engage in 30% less physical activity than national fitness guidelines. The implications of not moving are serious and can negatively affect a child’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. To address this problem, be.well provides year-round seasonal programming to get terminally ill children, children with disabilities, and their families active outdoors.

Empowering Children with Disabilites

The be.well program in partnership with Cincinnati Children's Hospital gives children with disabilities the opportunity to be active outdoors, make new friends, and improve their health. Many of the programs offer these adaptive athletes the opportunity to compete in events such as the Flying Pig Marathon.

More than improving physical abilities, many participants experience improved social skills and report feeling more socially successful with greater sense of worth after the program.
