The Healthbeat Events calendar is live and ready to help spread the word about health-related community happenings in Atlanta, New York and nationally.

You can find the searchable database on the Events page.

To submit an event, click on “List Your Event” at the top of the page and fill in the form. It’s free to post free events. For job fairs or events that require an admission fee, the cost is $25. (We plan to launch a separate jobs board soon.)

Even for free events, you will need to create a Healthbeat account with your name, etc., so we can reach you if there are questions about your listing.

To browse events in your area, click on “Browse Events.”

Categories include community events like health fairs, health department meetings, community forums, personal physical and mental health classes and workshops, preventative fitness, health and nutrition classes, and continuing education events for health professionals.

We look forward to seeing the events you have planned and helping our readers find the community resources they need to make good decisions about their health and the health of those around them.

You’ll see our events section on the sidebar of our webpages and in our newsletters as events start getting posted.

Go here to get started. Thank you for participating!
