Partnerships · For hospitals, clinics & care teams

A patient-friendly daily practice

Healthcare teams are often asked to address the loneliness, meaning, and lifestyle dimensions of health with no tool short of a referral. Fika Pause is a free, non-clinical resource your team can recommend in after-visit summaries, patient education materials, and lifestyle-medicine programming — without prescribing software, an EHR integration, or coverage logic.

Why Fika Pause benefits healthcare organizations

  • Aligns with social-connection and lifestyle-medicine pillars of chronic-disease prevention
  • Free for patients and provider organizations to recommend
  • Non-clinical and privacy-respecting — does not produce PHI to manage
  • Comes with clear disclaimers that distinguish it from medical intervention

How Fika Pause can be used

  • Include in patient education handouts on stress, loneliness, and lifestyle
  • Recommend in after-visit summaries for patients managing chronic conditions
  • Add to social-prescribing menus alongside walking groups and community programs
  • Use as a clinician wellbeing resource for staff burnout prevention

Suggested implementation ideas

  • Print the For Clinicians recommendation card and keep copies in exam rooms
  • Add the QR code to discharge summaries and patient education portals
  • Recommend during annual wellness visits as a 'lifestyle prescription' alongside movement and sleep
  • Offer to staff during well-being weeks as a personal practice — no enrollment, no reporting
