Exchange’s BE FIT Wellness Offerings Keep Service Members Ready, Resilient

DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is supporting BE FIT resolutions with health and wellness offerings for Warfighters, retirees and their families.

“Wellness is the cornerstone of the BE FIT lifestyle,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “Providing wellness services—from durable medical equipment to optical and dental services—is one of the many ways that the Exchange lives up to its commitment to promoting readiness and resiliency for Airmen and Soldiers.”

The Exchange has a long-standing history of supporting the wellness of Warfighters and their families, beginning with the opening of its first vision center at Fort Lewis in 1985. The following services are available at select Exchange locations:

  • Durable medical equipment shops in 11 locations (with eight more expected to open in 2019)
  • Optical and optometry clinics in 151 locations worldwide
  • Dental clinics in three locations (with 21 additional locations forthcoming)
  • Cryotherapy at Ft. Hood (with seven additional locations expected over the next two years)

The Exchange takes a holistic approach to wellness. Fitness products and athletic apparel in Exchange stores and on ShopMyExchange.com and healthy options at the food court and Express go hand in hand with the Exchange’s wellness services to promote readiness and resiliency for Soldiers and Airmen.

Warfighters and families can also find wellness solutions in the BE FIT section of the Exchange’s Hub page and the Exchange’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
