Leveraging Email Marketing for Healthcare Practices
Why Email Marketing Matters
When you run a healthcare practice, your relationship with clients doesn’t stop when they leave your office (or log off a telehealth call). Staying connected in a thoughtful way is how you build trust and keep your practice top of mind, and email is one of the easiest ways to do that.
Unlike social media, where algorithms decide who sees your posts, email lands directly in your client’s inbox. That means you get to show up consistently with the information they actually want, whether that’s updates about your services, wellness tips, or simple reminders that you’re here to support them.
Strengthening Client Communication
Think of email as an ongoing conversation. It doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy, what matters is that it feels useful and relevant. Some examples of what you might send:
Short educational tips (like “3 easy snacks to stabilize blood sugar”)
Updates about your practice (new team member, upcoming holiday hours, or a new program)
Gentle reminders (a nudge to schedule a follow-up or check in about progress)
A resource roundup (articles, local events, or podcasts you love)
Emails like these remind clients that you’re thinking about them and that you have their back.
How Email Encourages Repeat Business
Healthcare practices don’t usually rely on flashy promotions the way other industries do. Instead, repeat business comes from nurturing relationships over time. Email is perfect for that.
A monthly newsletter keeps you on clients’ radar.
Automated follow-ups after an appointment show you care.
Special invitations to workshops or group programs spark interest.
Seasonal check-ins (“how are you doing heading into the holidays?”) create connection.
When clients feel seen and supported, they’re more likely to come back to you when they need guidance and recommend you to others.
Best Practices to Keep in Mind
Keep it consistent. A short monthly update is plenty. Better to show up regularly than to overdo it.
Write like a human. Skip jargon and keep the tone warm and approachable.
Have one clear call to action. Do you want readers to book a session, click a blog post, or sign up for an event? Make it obvious.
Protect privacy. Use secure platforms and never include sensitive client details in an email.
Pay attention to what works. Most platforms show you open rates and clicks. Those numbers can guide what you write next.
Tools That Make It Easier
If you’re not sure where to start, tools like Mailchimp, Flodesk, or ConvertKit make email marketing simple. They come with templates you can brand, scheduling options, and automations (like welcome emails or reminders) that run in the background once you set them up.
Even better: they integrate with most websites and scheduling platforms, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
