AFWC Overview
Armed Forces Wellness Centers provide programs and services that improve and sustain healht, performance, and readiness of the Total Force deliverd by highly trained health professional. The primary goal of the AFWC is to enhance the self-efficacy of individuals to maintain lifelong healthy behaviors.
The AFWC provides six standardized and evidence-based core programs achieved with state of the art equipment and highly trained and credentialed staff who 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.
