Throwing it back to State Summer Games 2026 💙
Healthy Athletes is more than screenings—it’s access, care, and confidence. From feet to eyes to dental, these check-ups can be life-changing… and for some athletes, this is the only time they’re seen by a provider.
Because every athlete deserves to feel their best, on and off the field. 🩺✨
