Content Marketing Calendar for Healthcare Businesses

Commemorative days to guide content marketing & social media for the healthcare industry
In the 1980s, a swath of newly discovered illnesses brought about numerous awareness holidays to help the public gain knowledge about many unheard of illnesses. It was also an effective way to help bring activists and organizations together to begin raising money, awareness, and advocates for research on finding a cure for these new illnesses.
If your medical practice is looking for content marketing inspiration, using our health-related holidays calendar is a great place to start. Below you’ll find these holidays organized chronologically, as well as some ideas for social media hashtags.
