The New Year is a time of change and improvement, often with lofty goals to be more organized, improve eating habits, manage stress or finally running that marathon. No matter what your goals are for 2020, the Air Force Civilian Health Promotion Services program can give you a jump-start toward setting attainable goals and providing resources to help you meet your resolutions this year.
Completing a health risk assessment can be a great place to start to identify your current health status and receive personalized feedback about actions that can be taken to reduce risks, maintain health and prevent disease. CHPS now offers a new interactive website — USAFwellness.com — where you can complete your HRA and take advantage of resources to help in your growth toward healthy lifestyle change:
• View your local CHPS event calendar

• Access a wide variety of health information in the Health Library
• Link information you already track from sites/apps like Fitbit® and MyFitnessPal™
• Get suggestion for small goals to focus on each day called Daily Pursuits
• Form alliances with friends and co-workers to create support to meet and achieve your personal wellbeing
