Mission:   

Army Wellness Centers promote enhanced and sustained healthy lifestyles to improve the overall well being of soldiers and their family members though integrated and standardized programs and services.

Scope of Practice:

The AWC approach to service is holistic. AWC staff members take into account all of an individual's physical, psychological and social circumstances when providing services. A holistic approach is important because a person's health cannot be fully addressed unless we consider the whole person.  Our programs are individualized to address your current needs, motivation and confidence level.  AWC Services include:

Health Assessment Review:  An analysis of a person's health status, risk for disease, and ability to increase physical activity safely.

Physical Fitness:  Using state-of-the-art equipment, physical fitness level is assessed and used to create an individualized exercise prescription.

Healthy Nutrition:  Use of metabolic testing that synchronizes an individual's resting metabolic rate to provide tailored strategies for weight loss, gain, or maintenance.

Stress Management:   Education in biofeedback, stress relief techniques, and positive coping skills.

General Wellness Education:   Classes on topics such as healthy lifestyles, good sleep habits, increased resiliency, preventing chronic disease through healthy living habits, and self-care.

Tobacco Education:  An assessment of an individual's readiness to change with a discussion of possible options for becoming tobacco-free.
