UWF partners with Home Base Florida to expand veteran wellness services

The University of West Florida has launched a new partnership with Home Base Florida to bring the Warrior Health and Fitness program to its Pensacola campus, expanding access to wellness resources for veterans, active-duty service members, and military families across Northwest Florida.

According to WKRG News 5, the collaboration aims to address health and fitness needs specific to the military community in the region. The program will operate through UWF's campus, making it more accessible to eligible participants in Escambia County and surrounding areas.

Home Base Florida specializes in veteran support and wellness initiatives, while UWF brings institutional resources and community connections. The partnership underscores the university's commitment to serving the large military population in the Pensacola area, which includes NAS Pensacola and numerous other defense installations.

Details about program enrollment, specific services offered, and launch timing were not immediately available. Interested veterans, service members, or family members should contact UWF directly for more information about accessing the Warrior Health and Fitness program.
