Healthcare Newsletter Template — Monthly Wellness

The monthly newsletter patients actually open. A calm chapter-opener hero carries the issue title over a soft teal gradient, the chief medical officer writes a short note on what’s seasonal — sunscreen, flu shots, allergy prep — and a single scheduling CTA carries the action. Built for trust, not clicks: plain-spoken, specific, the kind of email a patient saves.

Snapshot

• Goal: keep patients engaged between visits with a useful, seasonal health tip and a gentle prompt to schedule their next checkup.
• Audience & tone: established patients and portal members. Calm, authoritative, plain-spoken — the care team speaking, not the marketing department.
• Palette: page #f0fdfa · container #ffffff · text #134e4a / #475569 (muted) · accent teal #0d9488
• Font: "Tahoma", "Geneva", sans-serif
• Artwork: one chapter-opener layout hero (a single rasterized image) — issue title over a soft teal gradient. Everything below it is native, selectable, and clickable.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

1. [layout] Hero — chapter-opener layout template — recolor the backdrop to cream #f0fdfa with a soft teal gradient overlay (teal #0d9488 at 8% opacity, top to bottom). Overlay copy: eyebrow "NORTHSTAR HEALTH · ISSUE 07" teal #0d9488 12px Tahoma tracked uppercase, heading "Your July wellness letter" text #134e4a 34px Tahoma bold, subline "Sun safety, hydration, and your mid-year checkup reminder." muted #475569 15px. Text-only artwork — the working CTA is the native button in step 6.
2. [native] Dateline — text. "JULY 2026 · WELLNESS LETTER" fontSize: 12, fontWeight: 700, letterSpacing: 0.08em, color #475569, left, tight bottom padding.
3. [native] CMO note heading — text. "A note from Dr. Okafor" fontSize: 22, fontWeight: 700, color #134e4a, left, generous top padding.
4. [native] CMO note body — text. Two short paragraphs as <div data-paragraph="true"> siblings: the seasonal angle (July means UV index peaks, hydration matters more than patients think) and a gentle reminder that mid-year is a good time to schedule the annual checkup they may have deferred. fontSize: 15, color #475569, left, line-height: 1.7.
5. [native] Tip heading — text. "This month: sun safety by the numbers" fontSize: 17, fontWeight: 700, color #134e4a, left, generous top padding.
6. [native] Tip body — text. One paragraph: SPF 30+ applied every two hours, broad-spectrum only, and a reminder that UV damage is cumulative — even on overcast days. fontSize: 14, color #475569, left, line-height: 1.7.
7. [native] Divider — hairline #99f6e4, generous vertical padding. Separates the tip from the scheduling prompt.
8. [native] Scheduling prompt — text. "Due for a checkup? Book in under two minutes through the patient portal." fontSize: 15, color #134e4a, left, with an inline teal #0d9488 “patient portal” link.
9. [native] CTA button — button. Label "Schedule a checkup", teal #0d9488 fill, white text, rounded corners, center.
10. [native] Help line — text. "Questions? Our care coordinators are at (555) 010-2030, weekdays 8am–6pm." fontSize: 13, color #475569, center.
11. [native] Footer — text. "Northstar Health · 500 Wellness Blvd, Minneapolis, MN · [email protected] · Unsubscribe" fontSize: 12, color #94a3b8, center. Recolored to the palette.

Make it yours

1. Rewrite the CMO note and tip for the current month — seasonal specificity is what makes a wellness letter worth opening.
2. Swap “Northstar Health” and the help-line number for your practice name and front desk.
3. Recolor the teal accent to your brand — keep the calm, plain-spoken tone.
