Army Wellness Center Services - Army Public Health Center

The Army Wellness Center (AWC) helped me get the weight off that I was holding onto from my last pregnancy. I got on the scale and it said, "To Be Continued." There is no charge for their services (they offer a lot) and Family Members and Veterans can use them, too. I just had another assessment in this February, and I was still holding strong. Thank you AWC!

"Army Wellness Centers (AWC) provide standardized primary prevention programs and services designed to build and sustain good health and improve the overall healthy lifestyles of Soldiers, Family Members, Retirees, and DA Civilians.

Building health with AWCs by empowering participants to set their own health goals and achieve them. It addresses lifestyle change in areas that affect both short- and long-term health, engaging people in their "lifespace"— the places where they live, work, relax and rest.
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.
