Workplace wellness employees can actually sustain in real life.

Three smiling adults, two women and one man, posing for a photo against a plain white background. The man is sitting on a beige couch with his arms crossed, wearing a blue shirt. One woman with dark hair is standing behind him with her arms crossed, wearing a black blazer and a light green dress. The other woman with red hair is standing next to him with her arms crossed, wearing a bright pink dress.

Foster Health helps employers close the knowing-to-doing gap in employee wellbeing — through practical, evidence-based behaviour change support your people can actually maintain inside the demands of modern work.

So wellness stops fading at week three. And starts showing up in retention, engagement, and culture

The real problem

The problem isn’t that your people don’t care about their health.

Most of them already do

The challenge is sustaining health habits consistently inside modern work:

  • constant demand

  • chronic stress

  • limited recovery

  • overloaded calendars

  • competing priorities that never lighten

Awareness isn't the gap. The gap is between knowing what supports wellbeing — and consistently doing it.

That's the gap Foster Health was built to close.

What You’ve Likely Already Tried

You've probably already tried:

  • wellness apps

  • lunch-and-learns

  • step challenges

  • awareness campaigns

  • fitness subsidies

  • motivational speakers

  • EAP reminders

All useful. But most lift awareness for a few weeks — then real life takes over again.

That's not a content problem. It's an implementation problem.

And it's why most workplace wellness initiatives have strong sign-ups and quiet follow-through.

What is different about Foster Health

Wellness that fits real life. And works on hard days too.

Foster Health is not another wellness initiative your team will quietly abandon.

We combine:

  • Evidence-based behaviour change — drawn from 25+ years in healthcare innovation and study at the University of Oxford

  • Practical implementation — designed for busy professionals, not aspirational ideals

  • Peer accountability — the missing piece in most wellness programming

  • Small, sustainable shifts — habits that survive a stressful Tuesday

We don't ask your people to overhaul their lives. We help them build the small habits that compound into lasting health.

Because small hinges open big doors.

Foster Health is led by Eileen Patterson

A healthcare entrepreneur, certified health coach, and organizational change expert with 25+ years leading change in healthcare systems across Canada and internationally.

Eileen brought the first peer leader training for chronic disease self-management programs to Canada. She has studied at the University of Oxford and leads Foster Health from Calgary.

How do you help busy, capable people build the health habits they already know they need — and actually keep them?

That question is the heart of Foster Health.

Let’s talk about what your team needs

Every organization is different. Every team is depleted in slightly different ways.

The right starting point depends on your culture, your capacity, and the change you're trying to make.

A 30-minute strategy call is where we figure that out together.
