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
