PROGRAM MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR FOR be.well

40 hours/weeks, Days, Monday-Friday

About the be.well Program:

Children with physical disabilities engage in levels of physical activity that are approximately 30% lower than what is recommended in national guidelines. They also report sedentary lifestyle rates that are nearly 4.5 times lower than typically developing peers. Physically inactive kids are likely to have lower test scores, are more likely to engage in risky behaviors like drug use, are less likely to go college, and report lower earnings as adults. Not moving enough leads to high health costs and has many serious health implications, including risk for heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, obesity and ultimately, shorter life expectancy."

In response, the Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy has worked to develop be.well, a community-based wellness service line for children with chronic or complex medical needs. The be.well service line is intended to generate opportunities for sport and recreation, regardless of ability. All be.well programs are guided by physical and occupational therapists, administered by local community partners, and supported by philanthropic agencies including the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, the Association of Volunteers, the Convalescent Hospital for Children Fund, and PNC. Collectively, we believe that our city is full of places to play and are committed to creating opportunities to be active in it. We are keeping kids healthy together.
