For hospitals, health systems and foundations

Holiday ecards for hospitals and health systems

A holiday card from your hospital thanks the people behind your care, and it can end with a link to give. These holiday ecards for hospitals are short animated cards with your logo, colors and words, sent by email to donors, volunteers, physicians, community partners and staff, and you see the finished card before you pay.

Made for a hospital

A holiday card that looks like your hospital

Type your hospital's website address and the card takes your brand colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then every line of text is yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from the CEO, the foundation, the medical staff or the whole health system.

The result is a healthcare holiday card that plays like a short film, with your logo, your colors, your words and music, full screen on a phone. On a Photo & Text design you can add your own photos. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your list is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for a hospital; press Make this yours and the studio opens it, ready for your own logo.

What to write in a hospital holiday message

A good hospital holiday message is short and grateful: thanks for what the reader gave this year, a wish for a healthy season, and who it is from. Name the people you are thanking, because donors, volunteers and care teams each gave something different. Write a different card for each audience if the words should change. Start from one of these and change any word.

To donors and supporters

"Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season. From all of us at [hospital name]."

"Thank you for supporting care in our community this year. Season's greetings."

"Your generosity made a difference in our community this year. Thank you, and happy holidays from [hospital name]."

To physicians, nurses and volunteers

"To our physicians, nurses and volunteers: thank you. Happy holidays."

"Thank you for the care you give, on every shift and every holiday. Season's greetings from [hospital name]."

To referring physicians and partners

"Thank you for your partnership and your trust this year. Warm wishes for the season from all of us at [hospital name]."

From the CEO

"On behalf of everyone at [hospital name], thank you for all you do for our community. Wishing you peace and good health in the new year."

Ecard or printed card from the hospital?

Many foundations still mail a printed hospital holiday card to board members and major donors. A holiday ecard for donors, physicians and staff reaches everyone else, at one price.

Who should get your hospital's holiday card

  • Donors and foundation supporters, from monthly givers to your board.
  • Volunteers, auxiliary members and the community groups that help.
  • Referring physicians and community partners: the practices, clinics, agencies and businesses you work with.
  • Your staff: physicians, nurses and every team that keeps the hospital running.

A card holds one message, so many hospitals make two health system holiday greetings: one from the foundation to donors and volunteers, one from leadership to staff and physicians. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.

A greeting for everyone on your list

Your donors, volunteers and staff come from every faith and none, and many of your teams will be at work on the holiday itself, so most hospitals choose Happy Holidays, Season's Greetings or best wishes for a healthy new year. Every word on the card is yours to type, so the same design carries whichever greeting your hospital uses. The season is hard for some people on any list, so a calm, kind message usually lands better than a loud one. Some hospitals send a thank-you at Thanksgiving as well.

Approved by communications before you pay

A card from a hospital usually needs a yes from communications, the foundation, the executive office and whoever looks after the brand. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so a CEO or a chief nursing officer can watch it on a phone between meetings.

When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought until someone says yes. Spot a typo afterward? Fix it and the card is made again, at no charge.

Keep the card a greeting

A holiday card carries one greeting for everyone on your list, so nothing about anyone's health, care or visits belongs on it. Your hospital decides who receives it and every word it says. If you are unsure how your privacy policy treats a list, check with whoever looks after privacy at your hospital before you send.

End the card with a link to give

When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose. For a hospital foundation holiday card, the first one is usually the giving page, so a supporter who just watched your thanks is one click from a year-end gift. Add your volunteer sign-up, your website and your social accounts beside it.

The card itself stays a thank-you. The link is there for anyone who wants it, which keeps the message warm and the next step easy.

Your donor list stays in your hands

There are two ways to send, at the same price.

  • Send it yourself. We design the email; you send it from Outlook, Mailchimp, Constant Contact or another provider. Your donor and staff lists never leave your own system.
  • We send it. Import your list and every address is checked before the send. Unsubscribes are handled for you, permanently, and you get a report afterward.

Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on the people you send it to and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.

When to send a hospital holiday ecard

Early December works for most hospitals: after Thanksgiving, and before the year-end giving deadline and the holiday weeks. Send it midweek, in working hours, when it lands in an inbox rather than a long weekend. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.

Your staff work every holiday, so a card to them can go out on the day itself. The card's page stays live after you send it, and another send extends it, so the same card can go to donors in early December and to staff later in the month.
