The State of Veteran Health

When Service Members leave the military, they face challenges and often neglect their own well-being. That neglect creates obstacles in the areas of: 

  • Physical health
  • Mental health 
  • Meaningful relationships

These challenges are often preventable through an upstream, proactive approach. 

  • Just 2.5 hours of movement each week is proven to lower the risk of depression. 
  • Meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging reduce feelings of isolation.
  • Regular exercise is an undeniable force in improving Veterans overall health and wellness.

Enter Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB).

About Team Red, White & Blue

Founded by Veterans, Team RWB offers a proactive and proven approach to Veterans’ health and wellness through events, training, and programs that promote a healthy lifestyle. 

Their comprehensive programs address the unique needs of America’s Veterans, concentrating on four key pillars essential to their well-being:  physical health, mental health, purpose, and relationships. These include:

  • Digital Garrison: in-app community focused on building a healthy lifestyle while leveraging technology
  • Ground Operations: In-person opportunities to exercise and connect 
  • Eagle Fit: Tailored health and wellness fitness challenges and health education 
  • Eagle Alliance: Collaborative access to physical and mental health resources for Veterans and Service Members

But, Does Team RWB Work?

Yes! Team RWB’s unique approach works. 

A recent internal study found 68% of Veterans and Service Members who consistently participated in their programs over a 6 month period experienced improvements in their Body Mass Index (BMI) scores. What’s more, 21% reported an increase in their mental health.

 

What Veterans Say About Team RWB

“With meeting Team Red, White & Blue, it has almost been like a new start for my life. I went from being depressed and anxious all the time and not doing anything and now I’ve got a group of people I can count on and that support me, and that I can support and help deal with the mental health and other struggles that we face as veterans.” - Brandon S., USAF ret.
