Health Promotion
Our mission is to coordinate, evaluate, and promote programs supporting healthy behavior change. This improves performance and resilience in the Kaiserslautern Military Community and our geographically separated units. We achieve these goals through targeted efforts in nutrition, fitness, sleep improvement, and tobacco cessation.
