One of the worst parts about this decision is the change in the world and americans more than anyone. The obesity and general health is much more an issue than it was in the early 80s. Add in we are finally making mental health an important discussion instead of swept under the rug.
This could have been a really cool health pavilion again, with emphasis on
Physical exercise
Proper diet
MENTAL HEALTH
Understanding people with disabilities
Among other things
And it could have all be done in a non clinical way but edutainment.
I would also think they could have went with multiple sponsors to do different things inside the structure instead of one for the entire thing.
Health insurance company, planet fitness, peloton, concept 2, trek, etc etc etc. which could have showcased their newest things
I 100000% agree! AdventHealth has really expanded its partnership especially with COVID, so why not sponsor part of the pavilion? Get them, some health insurance company, some pharmaceutical company, and they all sponsor a piece of the pavilion so they don't have to pay so much and balk at the price.
This has the potential of being an incredible pavilion, but alas, something that will only remain an idea in our minds.
