Health Educator Karla Kelly shares information about the great services the
Army Wellness Center Wiesbaden has to offer. The AWC Wiesbaden provides free
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. Units and individuals can take advantage of these
services to improve unit readiness, reduce lost and limited-duty time due to
injury, and set individualized goals.

Patients can get started with health assessments and testing to get an
individualized prescription for wellness from the knowledgeable staff. The AWC
Wiesbaden also offers informative classes on healthy nutrition, stress
management, healthy sleep habits and more.

Medical providers or unit commanders can refer patients to the AWC Wiesbaden,
but self-referrals are also welcome and can be made by contacting AWC
directly. Stop by Building 1201, 2nd floor (Parking lot entrance) or call DSN
590-1478 or 06371-9464-1478

More information:
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.
