%X Sustaining large health promotion interventions in hospitals is notoriously difficult, and our understanding of sustainability enablers remains peripheral. This case study examined sustainability of Canada¡¯s largest hospital based health promotion facility: The Wellness Institute at Seven Oaks General Hospital in Winnipeg. Seven sustainability enablers were identified: (1) Community support and ownership; (2) Consistent, supportive, visionary leadership; (3) Well-managed operations; (4) Limited service overlap and duplication; (5) Alignment with the healthcare system; (6) Consistent, professional staffing; (7) Leading-edge facilities and services. Four sustainability barriers were identified: (1) Alignment with the healthcare system; (2) Limited funding; (3) Service duplication; (4) Sub-optimal location. Results can support leaders with future planning and implementation of health promotion programming
