Recently at the Meadow Woods Orlando Magic Orange County Community Gym, UnitedHealthcare partnered with the Orlando Magic to create an event that illustrates just how enjoyable it can be while also explaining to the attendees the importance and benefits of having low-cost health insurance for children.
Kids of all ages from the Orlando area participated in all the thrilling activities, which highlighted different ways to remain focused and committed to being physically fit.
After completing all of the activities and listening to all of the information about Florida KidCare from professionals in the field of health and sports, all of the participants earned prizes to reward them for their eagerness to learn more about health and fitness.
Florida KidCare is the State of Florida’s health insurance program that covers children ages 0-18. Children enrolled in Florida KidCare receive comprehensive health care, including doctor visits, check-ups, shots, surgery, prescriptions, vision and hearing screenings, mental health care, dental check-ups and hospital stays.
With the help from Magic Community Ambassadors Nick Anderson and Bo Outlaw along with Magic Basketball Camp Supervisor Antonio Perez and his expert staff, kids also learned a variety of drills on the basketball court.
“This is a great opportunity for young men and women to take advantage of what is being shown to them,” Anderson said. “It’s something you can go home and put into your daily regimen.”
The Magic legend also emphasized how essential a nutritious diet is and how the combination of healthy eating and frequent exercise can transform a person’s confidence.
“It starts with your eating,” he said. “We all once upon a time liked junk food. There comes a time though that you have to get away from that.”
