HAWC celebrates Healthy weight Month with body fat assessments

By Ms. Nicole Simpson 779th Medical Group Health and Wellness Center

Body fat assessments will be administered every Friday in January, from 8 a.m. - noon, at the Health and Wellness Center  to celebrate Healthy Weight Month. Active duty, Guard and Reserve, their family members, retirees and Department of Defense civilians are welcome to a free body fat assessment. Maintaining a healthy weight and body fat percentage lowers one's chances of cardiovascular disease and increases overall good health.

The programs offered by the HAWC place emphasis on developing and maintaining healthy lifestyles that prevent disease and injury, and promote physical, psychological, social and spiritual well-being.

To find out more about monthly health programs, visit the HAWC located inside the West Fitness Center at 1444 Concord Avenue on Joint Base Andrews. For more information, call (240) 857-5601.
