Chapter 42: Icons Health
1. What is the “Icons Health” Page?
This page collects only the icons that represent health, medicine, medical care, hospital, doctor, pharmacy, wellness, heartbeat, first aid, pills, stethoscope, hospital bed, ambulance, and related healthcare concepts.
These icons are extremely useful for:
- Hospital / clinic / doctor websites
- Healthcare / telemedicine apps
- Pharmacy / medicine e-commerce
- Health & wellness blogs
- “Book Appointment” or “Emergency” buttons
- Medical dashboard / patient portal
- First aid / CPR training pages
- Insurance / health plan comparison sites
- “Health Tips” or “Symptoms Checker” sections
In Font Awesome 5 free, the Health category is medium-sized and very practical (around 20–30 icons, mostly solid fas style, some regular far). Newer versions (FA6/7) added many more (stethoscope variants, vial, syringe, pills, dna, virus, lungs, brain, tooth, bone), but FA5 free already has the most commonly used healthcare symbols that are still powering almost every medical, clinic, and health app website in 2026.
2. Main Free Health Icons in Font Awesome 5 (From the W3Schools Page)
Here are the most important free ones you’ll see in the table (solid fas unless noted):
- Heartbeat ❤️🔥 (pulse line / ECG / vital sign) <i class=”fas fa-heartbeat”></i>
- Heart ❤️ (basic heart – health / cardiology) <i class=”fas fa-heart”></i> (regular: far fa-heart)
