Welcome to
Healthy Workplace Program
What is the Ft. Detrick Healthy Workplace Initiative?
The Fort Detrick HWP is a wellness initiative that provides the workforce an array of health promotion activities. Encouraging "total fitness" of mental and physical health improves productivity and enhances the work environment.
As an introduction to incorporating healthy alternatives, the HWP, in accordance with Army Regulation 600-63, Army Health Promotion, 17 November 1987, allows civilian employees up to three hours per week for a six to eight week period to participate in fitness programs sponsored on the installation. Hopefully, the introduction to a wellness program will encourage our employees to continue their new programs. In order to support participants in their wellness efforts after the six to eight week period, commanders and supervisors are encouraged to implement flexible work scheduling consistent with workload and mission requirements.
A healthy work environment increases morale and productivity. Whatever we can do to promote the well-being of our civilian employees has my full support.

Healthy Workplace Topics
Visit HOOAH4Health - The U.S. Army health promotion and wellness web site. Unlike other health-related web sites, this one is specifically designed to address the force health protection and readiness requirements of the ARMY. In 1998 the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine was tasked by the U.S. Army Office of the Surgeon General to devise a health promotion partnership that allows individuals to assume the responsibility to explore options and take charge of their health and wellness.
