FIT2WINN Keeps 'Winn'ing Team Healthy

FORT STEWART, Ga. — Winn Army Community Hospital’s mission is to keep its warfighters healthy and well so they can do the nation’s bidding at any time. But providing health care to the most vital weapon system can take its toll on the medically ready soldiers and staff charged with that duty. Enter FIT2WINN, a holistic employee wellness program started in January. The brainchild of hospital director and Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield’s U.S. Army Medical Department Activity commander Col. Margaret Berryman, its goal is to combine physical and mental health components to foster a positive work environment, said Lt. Col. Tracey Williams, Stewart-Hunter public health chief.
