FORT RUCKER, Ala. (February 19, 2015) -- Lyster Army Health Clinic and the United States Aeromedical Center will host a grand opening ceremony for the Lifespace Center Feb. 25 at 12:30 p.m.

The newest addition to the Fort Rucker health clinic is part of the Army's mission to increase the overall awareness of Soldiers, Family members and civilian employees about the importance of the Performance Triad -- getting quality sleep, engaging in activity and improving nutrition.

"I believe our role as healthcare providers needs to continue to be delivering outstanding healthcare while embracing opportunities to coach, teach and mentor those healthy habits we all wish we did just a little better -- this is our hope by having this new Lifespace Center," said Col. Gary Wheeler, Lyster Army Health Clinic commander.

The new space boasts a newly remodeled check-in area along with interactive learning stations covering subjects of health and well-being. Soldiers and Families can use one of four screens in the space to take the Army's Global Assessment Tool -- a confidential, self-assessment tool that can help improve overall health. A full kitchen space will host cooking classes and demonstrations.
