The Wellness Institute at Seven Oaks General Hospital is Canada's leading medical fitness facility. It opened in October 1996 with a mandate to promote health, prevent illness and disability, and restore wellness of the body, mind and spirit.

The Wellness Institute quickly developed a reputation for innovation and excellence with programs based on best practices research. It's a uniquely Canadian hybrid that operates as a self-sustaining enterprise, but also as a department of a public hospital. As a medical fitness facility, the Wellness Institute works to integrate our mission with patient care at Seven Oaks General Hospital. That's why we include a health risk assessment which gives new members details and guidance to reduce their risk of disease, plus provide integrated health and rehabilitation services and offer an onsite Rehabilitation and Sports Injury Clinic.

The Medical Model

Programs and services at Wellness Institute respect the lifelong pursuit of total wellness while keeping our high standards for facility guidelines, safety and professional certifications... an effort recognized with a series of awards.

Wellness Institute is a member of the Medical Fitness Association, an international organization that promotes prevention and treatment of disease by integrating exercise-based therapies with health education. Visit www.medicalfitness.org for details on the medical model.
