Health Programs & Wellness Events
Fill the seats at your health events
Your community needs health screenings, nutrition classes, and support groups. Make sure they know about them. Display events in beautiful calendars with registration tracking so you can plan properly.
- Show wellness programs with automatic reminders
- Collect RSVPs so you know who’s coming
- Accept payments for specialized workshops
Community Health Initiatives
Keep your community healthy and informed
Share flu shot clinics, health fairs, and educational seminars where your community will see them. When people know what’s happening, they show up.
- Public health calendars everyone can access
- Filter events by type, provider, or health focus
- One-click sync to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar
Add events in seconds
Creating an event takes less time than scheduling a patient appointment. Just add the details and publish. Your staff will be set up and running within minutes.
Recurring programs made simple
Weekly yoga classes or monthly support groups repeat automatically. Change the schedule once and it updates everywhere.
Know exactly who’s coming
Stop guessing how many chairs to set up or screening kits to prepare. Track registration numbers before the event so you can plan properly.
Flexible calendar views
Let patients view events by month or week, then filter by provider, department, or category. When people find relevant events easily, they’re more likely to attend.
Organize with smart categories
Tag events like “Diabetes Support,” “Cardiac Care,” or “Mental Health.” Patients find what they need without scrolling through everything else.
Move your existing events in one click
Already have events in Google Calendar or another system? Import everything at once instead of manually re-entering each one.

Reviews
What our users say about us
WordPress
-
Sugar Calendar is now my go-to calendar due to its simplicity with adding new events. I’ve found that it was so much easier for my clients to use than some of the other event/calendar plugins out there while providing the features they needed most. -
Sugar calendar is an overall great plugin that’s easy to use, looks clean and was so easy to implement. Im so used to programs having a steep learning curve before I can truly use the program to its fullest potential, this is not the case for Sugar Calendar!
-
Sugar Calendar does all that I need. I have never had a problem with it, and support has been responsive when I had questions. It’s easy to install, simple to configure. It looks great on my WordPress theme.
-
Sugar Calendar is intuitive, and very user friendly. I love that the learning curve to use the calendar is so low. Even my non-tech clients can get their heads around it.
-
Sugar Calendar is a selective and useful approach for time management and scheduling. It gives the exact appointment to the right person, and all the reminders are well set.
-
Overall I’ve found sugar calendar to be a robust plugin that’s well maintained and offers everything you would need for a Wordpress plugin like this. It’s extremely user friendly and the simplicity of creating events, adding details, and more make this an amazing plugin.
-
This is an incredibly solid plugin to use as a base. I’ve tried several others, and this one is better than all the others I’ve tried!
-
Huge fan! Love the simple nature of this plugin. Perfect for a site that just needs a basic calendar with none of the bloat that comes along with The Events Calendar.
-
I was just looking for a simple calendar to display a short events list inside a sidebar and a calendar on a single page. This plugin accomplishes this exactly as expected and, unlike the other many calendar plugins, this one provides two blocks which include the events list and also the calendar.
Frequently asked questions
Have questions about Sugar Calendar for your healthcare practice? See our most common questions below.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for, contact us anytime.
Do I need both Events and Bookings, or just one?
Most healthcare providers benefit from having both. Use Events to promote wellness workshops, health screenings, and support groups that anyone can see. Use Bookings for private patient appointments, consultations, and telehealth sessions. The bundle gives you both at a discount.
Will my staff need training to use this?
Not at all. Most practices are up and running in under 30 minutes. If your staff can use your current practice management software, they can use Sugar Calendar. We provide comprehensive documentation and support to help with any questions.
Can patients sync appointments to their personal calendars?
Absolutely. After booking, patients can add appointments to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app that supports iCal format. One click and the appointment appears on their phone with reminders.
Can we accept co-pays or deposits when patients book?
Yes! Sugar Calendar integrates with Stripe to securely collect payments when patients book appointments. You can require payment upfront for consultations, collect deposits to reduce no-shows, or set up optional payment for certain appointment types.
