The Fort Leavenworth Armed Forces Wellness Center will temporarily close June 19 as the team relocates to a new location. The AFWC is scheduled to reopen inside Munson Army Health Center June 29. Relocating the AFWC within the Munson footprint will help further integrate health and wellness services with patient care teams, making it easier for service members, families, and other beneficiaries to access wellness resources that support healthier lifestyles, readiness, and long-term well-being. The AFWC offers evidence-based health and wellness services including metabolic testing, body composition analysis, fitness assessments, stress management education, healthy sleep support, tobacco cessation assistance, and individualized health coaching designed to help participants build sustainable habits and reach personal wellness goals. Services are available to active-duty service members, military retirees, family members ages 18 and older and Department of Defense civilians. We appreciate the community’s patience during the move and look forward to welcoming everyone back soon as we continue helping our Fort Leavenworth community achieve their health and wellness goals.
