composer require drupal/healthcareHealthcare organizations deserve websites that build patient trust from the first click. The Healthcare site template gives medical clinics, group practices, and hospital networks a complete, professionally designed digital foundation, all ready to launch in weeks, not months.
Beautiful, Patient-Centered Design
The template features the Diagnosis theme, a modern, mobile-first design crafted specifically for healthcare. Every element, from typography and color choices to layout and navigation, is designed to create a welcoming, trustworthy experience for patients. The interface is clean, accessible, and optimized for the ways patients actually search for care: finding providers by specialty or location, browsing available services, checking office hours, and registering for health events.
Help Patients Find the Care They Need
Built-in discovery features make it easy for patients to connect with your services. The searchable provider directory lets visitors filter by specialty, location, languages spoken, and whether providers are accepting new patients. Service pages highlight what you offer with clear descriptions, related providers, accepted insurance, and direct links to appointment booking. Location pages include interactive maps, office hours, parking and transit information, and accessibility details. Everything patients need is just a few clicks away.
Accessibility and Compliance from Day One
Healthcare websites must meet high standards for accessibility, security, and patient privacy. The Healthcare template is built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, ensuring your site is usable by everyone, including visitors with disabilities. Privacy and security features like cookie consent management, CAPTCHA protection, secure form handling, and controlled access to internal resources help you meet compliance requirements without custom development work.
Launch Faster, With Confidence
Instead of starting with a blank canvas, you get pre-configured content types for providers, services, locations, events, news articles, and patient resources, and realistic demo content that shows exactly how your site will look and function. The intuitive Canvas page builder lets your team create and update pages without coding, while editorial workflows ensure content is reviewed and approved before publishing. The result: a professional healthcare website that reflects your organization's quality of care, ready to serve patients in a fraction of the time a custom build would require.
The Healthcare site template is freely available as an open-source project, developed and maintained by Kanopi Studios with deep expertise in healthcare digital strategy. Whether you're a small neighborhood clinic or a growing regional health system, Healthcare gives you the digital tools to serve your patients better starting today.
Features
======================================
The Healthcare site template includes privacy features designed with healthcare organizations in mind:
- Cookie Consent Management: The Klaro module provides customizable cookie consent notices, allowing visitors to control which cookies they accept—supporting GDPR and similar privacy regulations.
- No Patient Health Information (PHI) Storage: The template does not store sensitive patient health data. Contact forms are configured to send submissions via email only, with no PHI retention on the website.
- Secure Form Handling: All contact forms include CAPTCHA or Friendly CAPTCHA spam protection and Honeypot anti-bot measures to prevent abuse and protect visitor privacy.
- Private File Storage: Internal resources for staff can be stored in Drupal's private file system, keeping sensitive documents outside the web root and accessible only to authorized users.
- Access Controls: Role-based permissions control who can view, edit, and publish content, ensuring privacy-sensitive materials are properly protected.
While the template provides privacy-conscious features, healthcare organizations should work with qualified privacy and compliance professionals to ensure their complete website implementation meets all applicable regulations (HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
======================================
The Healthcare site template follows Drupal's rigorous security standards:
- Security Advisory Coverage: All contributed modules included in the template are opted into Drupal's Security Advisory program, meaning security vulnerabilities are actively monitored and patched by the Drupal community.
- Built-In Security Features:
- CAPTCHA and Honeypot modules protect forms from spam and automated attacks
- Strong password policies and optional two-factor authentication (2FA) for administrative accounts
- Secure file handling with private file system support for sensitive internal documents
- Regular security updates delivered through Drupal's standard update mechanisms
- No Custom Security Bypasses: The template does not include custom code that bypasses Drupal core's security APIs. Authentication, access control, and data handling rely on Drupal's battle-tested security architecture.
- Maintained and Community-Reviewed: The template is actively maintained by Kanopi Studios and reviewed by the Drupal open-source community, providing ongoing security oversight.
Healthcare organizations should apply Drupal core and contributed module security updates promptly via Composer to maintain continuous protection. For organizations with specific security requirements, professional security audits and penetration testing are recommended as part of launch preparation.

FAQ
Is the Healthcare template really free?
Yes. Healthcare is an open-source project released under the GPL 2.0 license. There are no licensing fees or usage costs. You're free to download, install, customize, and use it for any healthcare organization. Optional professional support and customization services are available from Kanopi Studios if needed.
Can I customize the template to match my organization's branding?
Absolutely. The Healthcare template is designed to be customized. You can modify colors, logos, typography, layouts, and components to align with your brand identity. The Diagnosis theme uses standard Drupal theming approaches, making it straightforward for developers to apply custom styling. Kanopi Studios also offers professional branding and design services if you need assistance.
Is this template only for large hospitals?
No. The Healthcare template is specifically designed for small to mid-sized healthcare organizations—medical clinics, group practices, community health centers, and regional hospital networks. It's built to be manageable for organizations without large IT departments, while still providing room to grow as your organization expands.
Does the template include demo content?
Yes. The template comes with realistic demo content including provider profiles, service pages, location listings, health events, and news articles. This demo content helps you visualize how your organization's content will look and function, and serves as a starting point that you can edit or replace with your own information.
How does this help with HIPAA compliance?
The Healthcare template includes privacy and security features that support healthcare compliance requirements, but it's important to understand that the template itself does not make your website HIPAA-compliant. The template does not store patient health information (PHI), uses secure form handling, provides access controls for internal resources, and follows Drupal security best practices. For full HIPAA compliance, healthcare organizations must work with qualified compliance professionals to implement appropriate policies, procedures, and technical safeguards for their complete digital environment.
Can I integrate my existing appointment booking system?
Yes. The template includes appointment link fields on provider and service pages that can connect to external appointment booking systems (like Phreesia, Solutionreach, Luma Health, or others). The template is built on standard Drupal, so developers can also create deeper integrations using Drupal's API and module ecosystem.
What about patient portal integration?
The Healthcare template focuses on public-facing website content (provider directories, service information, locations, news, events). For patient portal functionality (medical records, test results, secure messaging), you would integrate with specialized patient portal systems. The template can link to external patient portals, and developers can build custom integrations as needed.
Is the template accessible to people with disabilities?
Yes. The Healthcare template is built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, the widely accepted accessibility benchmark for healthcare websites. This includes proper semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, screen reader support, color contrast ratios, and accessible form controls. Accessibility is built in from the start, not added as an afterthought.
How long does it take to launch a site using this template?
Most healthcare organizations can launch a customized site in 4-8 weeks using the Healthcare template, compared to 6-12 months for a custom-built site. The timeline depends on factors like content preparation, branding customization, integrations with external systems, and review/approval processes. The template eliminates most of the technical development work, allowing you to focus on content and customization.
Can I add additional features or modules?
Yes. The Healthcare template is built on standard Drupal CMS, which has thousands of available modules for additional functionality. You can install analytics tools, email marketing integrations, multilingual support, advanced search, online forms, social media feeds, and much more. The template provides a strong foundation that can be extended to meet your specific needs.
Who maintains and updates the template?
The Healthcare template is actively maintained by Kanopi Studios, with contributions from the Drupal open-source community. Updates are released to maintain compatibility with new Drupal versions, add features, fix bugs, and address security issues. Like all Drupal projects, you'll receive updates through standard Drupal update processes.
What if I need help or run into problems?
You have multiple support options: use the community issue queue on Drupal.org for bug reports and questions, review the template documentation and installation guides, or engage Kanopi Studios for professional support if you need dedicated assistance with installation, customization, training, or ongoing maintenance.
