A New Standard of Living: Vitacorps Begins Installation of Advanced Wellness Technology in U.S. Army Housing
New Solutions Being Installed at Fort Bragg, Fort Meade, and Fort Riley Aim to Improve Air, Water, Lighting Quality and Excess Humidity Conditions, which can Directly Impact Soldier Performance and Readiness
WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vitacorps, a leader in integrated wellness solutions for military environments, today announced the first installations of its innovative mission readiness solution are underway in homes at Fort Bragg, N.C., and Fort Meade, Md. This marks the beginning of a large-scale initiative to enhance the indoor environments of more than 4,500 homes across three major U.S. Army installations, including a future rollout at Fort Riley, Kan.
The Vitacorps program is driven by a comprehensive process designed to help support the health, well-being, and readiness of service members and their families. This involves rigorous infield assessment of indoor conditions and resulting prescriptions of 3rd-party tested interventions engineered to achieve certifiable indoor health outcomes across air and water quality, lighting and excess humidity. By holistically improving the indoor environment, Vitacorps aims to enhance soldier readiness, improve performance, strengthen family resilience, and contribute to the retention of military personnel.
“We are proud to begin the installation of our comprehensive wellness solution, bringing a new standard of healthy living to our nation’s military families,” said Rob Bellmar, president of Vitacorps. “Our seven-step program creates healthier living environments without major infrastructure investments or the need for temporary resident relocation. We bring together indoor environment and building experts to deliver scalable, research-based solutions that are designed to enhance well-being and operational effectiveness.”
The initiative follows successful pilots that validated significant post-implementation enhancements to air and water quality, humidity control, and lighting conditions. Key enhancements being deployed include:
- Air Purification: Providing purified air throughout the entire home.
- Water Filtration: Ensuring access to high-quality filtered water.
- Excess Humidity Control: Implementing solutions to manage and reduce indoor humidity.
- Circadian Lighting: Installing lighting systems that support natural sleep cycles and increase mental acuity.
Residents at a community participating in the pilot of the Vitacorps program reported an 82% increase in satisfaction with on-post housing.
The U.S. Army approved the rapid rollout of the program to communities covering more than 15,000 residents after initial data showed an overwhelmingly positive response and significant improvements across multiple thresholds, with prototype installations being validated and certified to the WELL Building Standard™, the world’s leading benchmark for indoor health.
This initiative advances the National Defense Strategy’s goal of a strong, healthy, and ready force and aligns with the Army's Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program, which promotes health and well-being for peak performance.
