The Armed Forces Wellness Center helps service members, retirees, their families and civilian employees build and sustain good health. It empowers them to set and achieve health goals and addresses lifestyle changes in areas that affect both short- and long- term health.
 
The AWC is a U.S. Army Medical Command initiative overseen by the Army Public Health command, staffed by a nurse and health educators who deliver primary prevention programs (primary prevention occurs before disease, injury, or disability occurs). Referrals can be made to the AWC by medical providers or unit commanders. Self-referrals are always welcome.

The AWC has a holistic approach — staff members take into account all of an individual's physical, psychological and social circumstances when providing services.

AWC services are available in the following areas:

  • Health assessment review
  • Physical fitness
  • Healthy nutrition
  • Stress management
  • General wellness education
  • Tobacco education
