About Eileen
The Foster Health 3-Day Kickstart is facilitated by Eileen Patterson — the healthcare leader who brought the first chronic disease self-management programme to Canada and spent three decades leading health improvement initiatives across Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean.
Eileen built this workshop because she has seen, from the inside of health systems, exactly why people struggle to change, and how to support change successfully. And she has been through her own health wake-up calls. She knows it is not about trying harder. And she knows what actually helps. Eileen brings that into every session.
This is not a webinar. Eileen works with small groups, so every participant gets real attention — not just a seat in a room.
"Working with Eileen changed how I think about my own health. She doesn't give you a plan — she gives you a way of thinking that you keep using long after your sessions are done."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A stable internet connection, Zoom installed on your device, a notebook, and a quiet space for three hours each day. That is it.
-
Yes. All three sessions are recorded and shared with participants via a private Slack group immediately after each day. You will have access to the recordings for [EILEEN TO CONFIRM — duration].
-
The recording will be available in the Slack group. However this workshop is designed as a consecutive three-day experience and the value compounds across the days — attending live is strongly recommended.
-
Yes. Many participants will be managing a chronic condition. The workshop focuses on behaviour change — the habits, tools, and mindset that support whatever your medical team is already doing. It is not a clinical programme and does not replace your medical care.
-
Yes. The workshop is delivered virtually and open to participants anywhere.
-
Participants who want to continue building on the foundation from the Kickstart are invited into the Foster Health 8-Week Implementation Series — the natural next step for going deeper over a longer period. Eileen follows up personally with anyone who wants to know more.
